The Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization is hosting an event at the Vatican called "New Evangelizers for the New Evangelization: The Word of God Grows and Spreads."
Archbishop Fisichella said the meeting will hopefully "quash" any illusions that "everything was alright in the past," or that "everything will be fine in the future" thanks to the invention of a "new formula."
He said that, though the mission of the Church has always been evangelization, and that it has been going on now for more than 2,000 years, the Church needs to find "a new language, a new lifestyle, one that is respectful but has a deeply rooted identity," with evangelizers "who have a profound sense of belonging to the Church and the Christian community, but at the same time who are open to others (!!! )."
