'Evangelii Gaudium' amounts to Francis' 'I Have a Dream' speech
This was the caption of an analysis of the 'Evangelii Gaudium' by John L. Allen Jr. in the National Catholic Reporter (Tuesday, November 26, 2013).
‘Dreams can be powerful things, especially when articulated by leaders with the realistic capacity to translate them into action. That was the case 50 years ago with Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, and it also seems to be the ambition of Pope Francis' bold new apostolic exhortation, "The Joy of the Gospel."
In effect, the 224-page document is a vision statement about the kind of community Francis wants Catholicism to be: more missionary, more merciful, and with the courage to change.
