Abstract
Pope Francis calls us to an unpostponable renewal of faith and a return to the Gospel in order to rise above our own narrowness and to become human beings in the full sense of that term. This article reflects on reasons for this serious demand of the Pope. After the introduction, the first part will mention some aspects of the crisis of the contemporary human being, while pointing out what the author sees as problematic in the Church and in our relations. The second part will discuss the crisis of consciousness in the Church, but also the crisis of consciousness of the Church about itself, while pointing out what was in the proclamation of key importance for forming the first Christian communities. The third part will reflect on some aspects of the crisis in our relations, pointed out in the introduction, and present a few suggestions that might serve as a possible sketch of community‑building, social, and moral effects of kerygma (proclamation).
Keywords
