Mike Regele in his 1995 book, "Death of the Church" perceptibly foresaw the needs of our current generation of youth and young adults for belonging.  If there is no "there" for them, they will move on to something else.  La Red, the Encuentro movement, the work of Hoffsman Ospino and countless others have moved that agenda forward in the Hispanic community.  With the changes in IV Encuentro and the current V Encuentro, that story is being brought to a parish near you for all Catholics of all cultures.  

Make no mistake that the stain of a Trumpian style dystopia over anything not "white" hardens the hearts and dulls the hearing of too many Catholics.  The exit turnstiles are spinning for young Catholics of all stripes, and our usual church language, our inadaptability, and our resistance to change will not slow them.  

Salgado's article is a call for transformation and we should pause to listen.
