La missionarietà della Chiesa nell’enciclica Redemptoris missio di Giovanni Paolo II di fronte alle voci del Sinodo Amazzonico
The Missionary Nature of the Church in John Paul II's Encyclical Redemptoris Missio in the Face of the Voices of the Amazon Synod

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the study is the theme of the missionary nature of the Church presentedand shown in a new light in a deepened and adapted to the challenges of the end of the 20thcentury by Saint John Paul II in the encyclical Redemptoris missio. Today, a special opportunity to undertake this issue and to present it in the current historical and ecclesial contextis the 30th anniversary of its announcement (December 7, 1990). The presentation of itscontents and their analysis highlighted the uninterrupted continuity of Christ’s missionarycommand and the unchanging relevance of the message contained in the document regardingthe proclamation of the Gospel and the baptism of all people. The necessity of recallingthis topic appears inevitably, taking into account the internal condition of the Church,as a result of which the mandate entrusted to all Christians loses its power and seriousness.As a result, due to the weakening of missionary awareness and responsibility manifestingitself within the Church, it seems necessary and absolutely essential to remind and referto the encyclical of John Paul II in order to awaken among Catholics the awareness of themission of announcing the Gospel given to them.
