Pope Francis has called Catholics to spend more time with the saving power of God’s word as society and social media amplify “the violence of words.”
Pope Francis discussed his vision for lay ministry in the Church in an April 22 speech, noting that all baptized people are called to take part in the mission of the Church regardless of whether or not they hold a formal lay ministry title such as lector or catechist.
What is the role of Catholic laity? Some may say to attend Mass, to raise their children in the faith, and to practice the Church’s teachings in their homes and family lives. A new documentary film is offering another perspective.
