“I dream of a “missionary option”, that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today’s world rather than for her self preservation.”
Pope Francis
“The process of secularization tends to reduce faith and the Church to the sphere of the private and the personal. Furthermore, by completely rejecting the transcendent, it has produced a growing deterioration of ethics, a weakening of the sense of personal and collective sin and a steady increase in relativism. These have led to a general sense of disorientation, especially among our young who are so vulnerable to change.”
Pope Francis
