Twenty people under age 35.  Seventy theologians, priests, and academics.

>The cardinal's office planned a dozen long, formal talks on subjects including "the search for identity," political commitment, planning for the future, technology and transcendence.

While those are all good topics to discuss, not just be lectured to (which is what a "long, formal talk" sounds like to me), it does seem to me that the hierarchs have already set the agenda they want, and I can't help feeling those twenty-under-35 are so much window dressing.

I hope I'm wrong.
