Abstract

The pandemic has affected society across the board, in different ways and in all directions, but there is no doubt that it is children and adolescents, the sick and the elderly who pay the biggest bill. Youth is drunkenness without wine, said Goethe, but when wine is sour, drunkenness becomes disease. Recurrence of crises, pandemic outbreaks and lack of horizons may be creating a lost generation. The pandemic affected populations both individually and collectively. This includes the religious phenomenon and urban spirituality, although we do not yet know exactly to what extent it influences them and how.
