FAITH 2.0 IS OUR RESPONSE!
"In a document released today titled “Evangelii Gaudium” (The Joy of the Gospel), the pope offers a much more complete look at his approach to the church’s primary mission of evangelization in the modern world.
It is a remarkable and radical document, one that ranges widely and CHALLENGED COMPLACENCY at every level. IT CRITIQUES the over-centralization of church bureaucracy, POOR PREACHING and EXCESSIVE EMPHASIS ON DOCTRINE, while WHILE ENCOURAGING PASTORAL CREATIVITY and OPENNESS, even calling for a much-needed “pastoral conversion” in papal ministry.
Francis urges pastors and faithful to "ABANDON THE COMPLACENT ATTITUDE THAT SAYS: WE HAVE DONE IT THIS WAY." I invite everyone to be BOLD and CREATIVE in this task of RETHINKING THE GOALS, STRUCTURES, STYLE AND METHODS OF EVANGELIZATION in their respective communities."
