Nuntiandi, "On Evangelization in the Modern World" - (December
8 , 1975 , # 14) Apostolic
Exhortation by Pope Paul VI, "We wish to confirm once more that the task
of evangelizing all people constitutes the essential mission of the Church.
It is a task and mission which the vast and profound changes of present-day
society make all the more urgent. Evangelizing is in fact the grace and
vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists to evangelize."

Missio, "The Mission of Christ the Redeemer" -
December 7 , 1990 [issued january
22 , 1991] - Pope John Paul II's eighth encyclical, subtitled "On the
Permanent Validity of the Church's Missionary Mandate," stresses the urgency
of missionary evangelization. The encyclical examines the new frontiers
for missionary activity in modern cities or some traditionally Christian
areas needing re-evangelization, while emphasizing the continued importance
of a mission ad gentes-to the nations. Pope John Paul rejects any views
of salvation and mission that would focus on humanity's earthly needs
while remaining "closed to the transcendent." The relationship of missionary
activity to ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, to the development
of peoples, to situations in which Christians are the minority and to
inculturation of the faith, along with the role of the communications
media in evangelization, are among points discussed in the encyclical.

Redemptor
Hominis, "The Redeemer of Man" - March 4, 1979
- The mystery of redemption and the situation of the redeemed person
in the modern world are themes of the encyclical. Human rights and dignity,
religious liberty and the quest for life's meaning in a world of technological
and scientific breakthroughs are examined. The church's fundamental
function in every age, Pope John Paul II states, is "to point the awareness
and experience of the whole of humanity toward the mystery of God."
Pope John Paul also describes the vital role of the Virgin Mary, calls
for appreciation of priestly celibacy, and discusses the task of theologians.

Ecclesia
in America - January 22, 1999 Writing
after the Fall 1997 Special Assembly for America of the Synod of Bishops,
Pope John Paul II says that in America "areas in which it seems especially
necessary to strengthen cooperation are the sharing of information on
pastoral matters, missionary collaboration, education, immigration and
ecumenism." Pope John Paul focuses in a special way on new evangelization
called for by "the new and unique situation in which the world and the
church find themselves at the threshold of the third millennium, and
the urgent needs which result. Pope John Paul examines many issues of
church life - for example, spirituality and conversion; Scripture study,
popular piety and inculturation of the Gospel; the role of bishops,
priests, deacons, those in the consecrated life and lay people, the
need to foster priestly vocations, youth ministry, ecumenism and parish
renewal. He applies church social teaching to numerous challenging social
issues such as corruption, the drug trade, the environment, the arms
race, globalization, Third World debt and torture, and he focuses on
the human rights of all, from the unborn to the aged.
