Father Morozowich said Pope Francis is

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis’ new document on the “joy” of evangelization brown paper texture is an opportunity for Catholics to re-examine how to share the Gospel in today’s world, several Catholic commentators note.
“Pope Francis says the Church has to focus on what is essential and most beautiful, that everyone has to have a personal encounter with the saving grace of Christ,” Vatican media adviser Greg Burke said Nov. 26.
The Pope’s 85-page document, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), was released Nov. 26. The apostolic exhortation follows the 2012 Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization, which was held as part of the Year of Faith.
Father Mark Morozowich, dean of The Catholic University of America’s School of Theology and Religious Studies , called the work “a wonderful brown paper texture call for the entire Church to once again rethink what we’re doing to seed the ever-renewing Spirit and to reach out in evangelization.”
“You can really see the pastor coming through in Pope Francis,” Father Morozowich said. “I think he wants that closeness of pastoral life between the bishop and his flock, between the priest and his people.”
He cited the Pope’s comment that evangelizers must take on the “smell of the sheep.” The document is written, he noted, “as a pastor would speak to his parishioners,” in the Pope’s brown paper texture approachable “invitational style.”
Father Morozowich said Pope Francis is “calling parishes to renewal,” and parish leaders should ask themselves questions like: “What more can we do to reach out? How can we invite people? Are we an inviting place?”
Bishop David Ricken of Green Bay, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis , said Pope Francis is showing “how to live the Gospels and reach out to the world with what every person needs: a relationship with God.”
Carl brown paper texture Anderson, supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus brown paper texture , said the document shows Pope Francis’ “missionary spirit” and is “an important and timely contribution to the cause of the New Evangelization.”
“It highlights his belief that the Gospel message and loving outreach of the Church are for everyone, that the Church brown paper texture must go outside itself and welcome those on the margins with love and healing in the spirit of Christ himself,” Anderson said.
He added, “If this document is embraced by the Church throughout the world, it could mark a key moment for a reinvigorated New Evangelization of our culture, which too often has forgotten the Good News of the Gospel, which is central to our faith.”
Greg brown paper texture Burke said the document is in some ways traditional and has an emphasis on “returning to the essentials.” In other ways, he said, it is “prophetic,” as Pope Francis calls for a change to how the papacy and the Vatican work.
He said, “The document suggests major changes are on the way, with Francis noting that the Church has to get over an attitude that says, ‘We’ve always done it this way.’” 
This article deceptively omits the anti-tradition ranting of this pope.  An article on CNN.com called “Pope Francis: No More Business brown paper texture as Usual”, in my opinion, gives a more honest rendition, noting the intent to do away with tradition because it is no longer brown paper texture understood. 
Well.  Why not work with the facts and educate people about all the traditions Christ gave us instead of throwing them out like trash?  Dumbing down Catholics has been the modus operandi of Vatican II for 50 years.  Isn’t it time to go back to what’s right?  Yes, it is. Francis uses several trusted techniques of deception to market his anti-traditionalism: a politically correct form of cussing - one which a Protestant aunt of mine introduced me to.  She repeatedly referred brown paper texture to her son as “a pill” to raise.  Her phrase, like Francis’s saying that the beauty of the faith from the past is… gone (and will never return while on his watch) threw a monkey wrench into the good will of their victims.  Assured brown paper texture now they are unwanted, unChristian scum, the pope is turning our minds to something of more value: the poor.  Never mind the Faithful Latin Mass people, he tells us.  Let’s ignore them and do what the world wants. E
Francis’ grasp of economics and of economic realities is abysmal. He is demonstrably brown paper texture wrong in his assertions about the nature of markets, about their autonomy, and about the roots of the financial crisis. I read the entire text with great care and find nothing that is both true and relevant to where I find myself in my pilgrim journey.
As in most cases, peopl
