The Church carries the responsibility of reading
the signs of the times…..of a real social and
cultural transformation…..we cannot escape.
The scientific mentality and technological
progress…..mass media…..emigration…..so that
young people have grown rebellious in their

God and religion…..the modern dilemna….”man”
feels himself divided.

Conclusion

  Spirit that fills the world, tries to discern in the
  longings it shares with all people of good will the
  true signs of the purpose of God.

• To what extent is this what we already believed
  but didn’t connect with the teaching of the
  church

• Is action on behalf of justice a “constitutive”
  dimension of preaching the gospel? (1971 Synod
  of Bishops)
