Summary: | The now clearly global and fragmented character of the Catholic reality means that situations concerning vocations are very diverse. Bishops and superiors of religious Orders have written and continue to write letters on this subject. Everywhere there is talk of a greater commitment to the promotion of vocations; but, is the problem really one of communication? Addressing the issue of consecrated vocations in the Catholic Church presupposes a rigorous analysis of present-day societies at the demographic, sociological and cultural levels. It also induces us to ask ourselves radical questions of a theological and ecclesiological nature, which concern the Church’s conception of itself. This probably involves discovering a new way of proposing vocation in its radicality and evangelical freshness. |
