NCReg: MN Bp. Quinn is encouraged by young people's quest for truth
Bishop John Quinn of Winona, Minn., has welcomed Pope Benedict XVI’s call for better instruction of young people, saying it will meet their desire for solid truth over self-centered relativism.
“Our younger generation is breaking out of it,” Bishop Quinn told EWTN News, observing a growing discontent with worldviews that reject the idea of truth in areas like religion and morality.
“They’re looking for the truth. One of them said to me, ‘Bishop, just tell us the truth. Don’t sugarcoat it. We want to know what the truth is.’ And someone else said to me: ‘You know, bishop, we’ve been told so many lies, throughout the culture and by other people. Just give us the truth.’”
Bishop Quinn offered his thoughts on March 9, hours after his second meeting with Pope Benedict XVI. Bishops of his state, as well as North and South Dakota, were in Rome for their traditional ad limina visit involving talks with the Pope and Vatican officials about the health of their dioceses.
