Two days ago, the Holy Father announced several appointments to the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. The new members are from various countries – Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Spain, Brazil, Great Britan and the United States.
Those from the United States are: Dr. Ralph Martin and Dr. Curtis Martin.
Ralph Martin is the director of the Graduate Programs in Evangelization at the Sacred Heart School of Theology in Detroit, a seminary to which many of our seminary students from Winona attend for their theology work.
Curtis Martin is the founder and president of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) and instructor with the Augustine Institute in Denver.
Congratulations, Doctors Martin!
As you know from previous posts on this weblog, the work of evangelizing the world is ever ancient, yet ever new. It is a prodigious task for all of us in our current cultural context. Let us pray that the Church’s efforts to proclaim the Gospel in its entirety be met with success.
And may the catalyst for the New Evangelization, Papa Luciani (Pope John Paul I), pray also for its development and fruitfulness.
