Summary/Abstract: This article at first describes what today’s young German people – less than a third of whom are baptized catholic – think about believe and about the Church. Then the diversified practice of youth pastoral care is raised, but also the theoretical concepts on which this practice is predicated. The article finishes with a plea that persons in pastoral care should really get involved with the present-day adolescents and their existential questions.
