I found this so intriguing. I'm a person of faith. I consider myself more non-denominational Christian now but I grew up Catholic. I had an excellent Catholic upbringing full of love and hope so I find this pope to be in alignment with my experience and worldview of Catholicism. Though I acknowledge that with a billion different Catholics there are a billion different experiences of the Church. I found Pope Francis to be very wise and very kind. I didn't feel like he had any judgement for these kids even though some of them are living life much differently than would be considered ideal for a follower of Christ. Secondly this is just all-around a well-made piece of film. The way it was shot was so awesome and I love the cutaways that depict each of the peoples lives. I'm also gay so I really appreciated the fact that there were questions about that and the Popes response made me feel more welcome in the church. I have always had a solid relationship with Christ and even though I never directly felt any sort of judgment growing up, as a whole the church is sort of notorious for that - I'm talking in circles here people so I apologize but yes this was awesome. Would have loved for it to be longer! Great job to the filmmakers !

This feels quite honest, as the young people talking to the pope not only pose difficult topics (you might expect issues like sexual abuse in the church, but online pornographical content creator for example took me by surprise), but also do not necessarily accept his answers. And are quite diverse - a muslim, an agnostic, a former nun who lost her faith, a girl who seems like a somewhat fanatic catholic, you get it.

To the important bit - are the Pope's answers satisfactory? Obviously that depends on your point of view. As an atheist, I thought they were as good as you can expect them to be from the head of the Catholic Church. There are issues that we can agree to disagree, issues where the answers feel a bit disingenuous (in the abortion discussion 'science tells us'...but then we neglect to also say what science tells us about the time window it should be permitted), and issues where you wish more religious people had Francis' tolerance.

Overall lesson: Francis frankly seems as good as a pope can be (a low bar to pass to be fair) - and a nice old man. Just don't expect 85 year-old priests - even popes - to have all the answers.

I grew up Catholic and attend mass every sunday. The Catholic church and faith is a big part of me and the culture that I grew up in. However, I do feel a disconnect with and within the church. The churches are running empty, because of its failure to adapt to a changing world and in my opinion has not done enough to right some its horrific wrongs. Especially the latter demands more transparency. This documentary is an effective step towards building a bridge and shedding light on the tougher and more complicated aspects of life. The youth especially needs to be seen and heard without judgment and with compassion. Only from there can you start building the real church.

The Pope ended the talk with the words: "As long as we don't lose this fraternity." A perfect ending to an interesting and dynamic talk and I sincerely hope that the Pope will do this more often.
