Włosek, Mateusz Stefan (Księgarnia Św. Jacka, 2021)
Nowadays, we can observe a disturbing phenomenon, where faith loses its vitality and erodes slowly. Therefore, in the present situation, the Church is undertaking the work of new evangelization, caring for the authentic transmission of faith with new dynamism and using new means. Consequently, the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization was established. The aim of this article is to present the history of the creation and the course of evangelization initiatives of this dicastery, with particular emphasis on the Jubilee of Mercy. The analysis made it possible to establish that the actions of the Pontifical Council are consistent with the Pope’s teaching on God’s mercy. The initiatives taken are a specific manifestation of the new evangelization, one of the many tasks of which is also to announce the mercy of God to the world which becomes a real experience through works of mercy, proclaiming the word of God or administering the sacraments, especially the sacraments of penance and reconciliation.
