Praedicate Evangelium (Preach the Gospel) is one of the most important legislative acts that Pope Francis has promulgated since his election in 2013. In addition to the full text of this new constitution, this book features theologian Massimo Faggioli's explanation of the significance and limitations of this document.
In a way that is different from the reforms of both Paul VI in 1967 and John Paul II in 1988, Faggioli explains how the Constitution tries to apply the ecclesiology of Vatican II to the structure and culture of the Roman Curia. It puts into motion many different aspects of the whole pontificate of Francis.
He presents Francis's desire for more diversity in the college of cardinals, decentralization of papal power, the reform of the economic and financial institutions of the Vatican, and the necessary structure to manage the global clergy abuse crisis in the Catholic Church.
