Pentecost and the Challenge of Evangelization Today | Insights from Cardinal Tagle

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the challenges faced by the Church in spreading the gospel in the modern world. Join us as we hear from Fortunatus Nwachukwu, Secretary of the Section of First Evangelization of the Dicastery for Evangelization, and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Pro-Prefect for the Section of Evangelization. They provide profound insights on the importance of evangelization and how to connect with people in today’s secularized society. 

Fortunatus Nwachukwu emphasizes the problem of secularization and the need for individuals to find their center in God rather than in their own ideas. He shares his experiences as a nuncio to the Holy See in Nicaragua and the importance of the Church connecting with people worldwide. 

Cardinal Tagle emphasizes that evangelization is not just a task but an inherent part of being a Christian. He challenges us to be convinced of our calling to proclaim who Jesus is and to give testimony to Him. Both speakers highlight the Church’s role in helping people hear the voice of God through Scripture, church teachings, and the witness of saints and ordinary believers. 

Discover how the Church aims to bring the good news of Jesus’ love and presence to all creation, including those who are abandoned, suffering from conflicts, persecution, or man-made disasters. Join us as we explore the significance of Pentecost and the ongoing challenge of evangelization in today’s world.
