Theyare bewildered;they are frightened;theysee nothing ahead but confusion and ruin.Their only consolation is that their life,forthe most part,is behind them and that theywill not be around when the deluge comes.  \nNaturally such folks are sorry for youngpeople.They pity the boys and girls who,as far as they can see,will never enjoy thecomfort and security they have known.Whatis ahead for youth but uncertainty and dan-ger and turmoil and strife?They are so veryglad they are no longer young,so sorry thatso many others are.  \n# The Urge for Advenfure\n\nIf they only knew it,the average normal,healthy boy or girl is impatient of tlheir  \nsympathy and is grateful to be alive andyoung in these exciting times,for youth isnot afraid of changes and thrills at the pros-pect of danger.It wearies a bit of havingthings thrust ready made into its hands andyearns to take part in the fashioning of itsfuture.The more problematic the future,thegreater the challenge to its urge for adventure,the larger the leeway for its idealism.It isgood to be young when a world is in themaking,when the kingdom of yesterday isundergoing the eventual process of abdica-tion,to make way for the kingdom of tomor-row,when the hope for better things rideshigh.  \nUnto Catholic youth,the present turmoilin the affairs of human kind offers a veryspecial opportunity.The world that is inprocess of disintegration,is a world thatfaith in Jesus Christ never built.As a mat-ter of fact,it is a world that turned its backon Him Who was Crucified,and boasted thatits progress was born of emancipation fromHis yoke.Here and there,it may have ren-dered Him a grudging lip service,but itsheart was in theories and projects far,farremoved from His Gospel.The religiousrevolt of the sixteenth century was the firstof a long series of subsequent revolts,allaimed at eventually eliminating Christianityas a dominant factor in human affairs.Thewhole concept of the supernatural has beenlaughed out of court;the existence of thesoul has been questioned;the doctrine ofOriginal Sin has been scoffed at as an old  \nwives'tale;the story of Christ has beenclassed as a myth;the Church has come to beregarded as a troublesome survival that be-longs to ages that were dark;a jest has beenmade of the notion that there are eternal prin-ciples of truth and morality.The modernworld made its act of faith in the powers ofnature and proclaimed that it was sufficientunto itself.  \nSuch being the case,it simply could notlast.Its doom was sealed because the Lordwas not building its house and because itblasphemed the only Name under heaven inwhich it could be saved.Whatever it pro-duced that was blessed and worth while,wasdue to the momentum created by the Ages ofFaith;the habit of acting like Christiansendured long after people had ceased to thinkas Christians.But now the time is at handwhen it is being tried by circumstances ofits own creating,and it is failing the test.Itis far from being ready to confess the errorof its ways or to consider the advisabilityof retracing its steps,but at least it is verym","cbCaivzCakexJkJw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivzCakexJkJw","pdf",360020,16,"English","# A CHALLENGE TO CATHOLIC YOUTH\n# The Urge for Advenfure\n# The Spirit of the World","[{\"question\":\"Why does the speech frame contemporary change as an opportunity for youth?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that youth is not afraid of changes and thrives on excitement and challenge, so turbulent times can become a special opportunity for faith and action.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the speech say about the modern world’s rejection of Christ?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a world that turned its back on Jesus, mocked key doctrines, and placed faith in nature and itself, leading to eventual failure.\"},{\"question\":\"What action does the speech urge Catholic youth to take?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for apostolic and evangelizing work to the nations, insisting that the right moment is now to go forth and win others to Christ.\"}]","A CHALLENGE TO CATHOLIC YOUTH - The Urge for Adventure - The Spirit of the World | PDF",1789970348]
