Pope Francis reflects on the state of the world and the state of the Church as he examines the very essence of being Church and living as Church. Inculturation and Rearticulation of Teaching. The Church that sees the ‘culture of death’ everywhere and no signs of God’s kingdom breaking through is in the past. Let it excite you. I think it has things to say very directly to us here in Guyana and to the Church in Britain. So: 32 “The Second Vatican Council stated that, like the ancient patriarchal Churches, episcopal conferences are in a position to contribute in many and fruitful ways to the concrete realization of the collegial spirit. This paragraph has brought heated controversy in the US. For example, if in the course of the liturgical year a parish priest speaks about temperance ten times but only mentions charity or justice two or three times, an imbalance results….The same thing happens when we speak more about law than about grace, more about the Church than about Christ, more about the Pope than about God’s word.

In a critical paragraph which underlines that he is requesting and requiring change of us all, he declares that the status quo is not an option. He insists that we no longer say that we are ‘disciples’ and ‘missionaries’, but rather that we are always ‘missionary disciples’.

This is not something subject to alleged reforms or ‘modernizations’. 110. The ministerial priesthood is one means employed by Jesus for the service of his people, yet our great dignity derives from baptism, which is accessible to all. Pope Francis inaugurated the ‘Vatican Spring’ and Evangelii Gaudium (EG) can be seen as the Charter for this Vatican Spring. He pleads that we hear the cry of the poor. Across the globe EG has caused surprise and excitement. This is the brief wrap-up chapter of EG concluding with the prayer, Mary as Star of Evangelisation. But it is more than that; there are many echoes of the Jesuit General Congregation 34. I’m not sure about that…. It is the word, 'inevitably' that is the centre of the heated exchanges. Let me quote and underline the plea of Fr James Martin SJ to his fellow Jesuits: “Please, please, dear Jesuit brothers, read the entire document. Yet lowering our arms momentarily out of weariness is not the same as lowering them for good, overcome by chronic discontent and by a listlessness that parches the soul.“.
