From Jesus Christ’s convocation to Pope Francis’ ecclesiology

Abstract

From the convocation of the Gospel, proclaimed by Jesus Christ in Palestine in the 1st century, the outskirts of the Roman Empire, to Pope Francis proposal in announcing it to the existential and geographical peripheries. How to understand the convocation of Jesus Christ to his church (Mt 28, 19)? How to understand Pope Francis ecclesiology: Church that goes forth (EG nº 46)? To dynamize and proclaim the wonders of the Kingdom of God, Christ Jesus built his Church over the Apostles, having Peter as the one responsible for its unit. The Pope has not been saying anything new, but has presented the eternal words of Christ Jesus as something new. The Pontiff brings dynamism and joy to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
