Vatican’s Doctrine Office Publishes ‘Venite ad Me’ on Passing on the Faith Amid ‘Epochal Change’
The text says the crisis in passing on the faith calls for renewed evangelization centered on the kerygma and the witness of believers.
- On Thursday, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published Venite ad Me: Considerations on the Transmission of the Faith in an Epochal Change, suggesting concrete paths for proclaiming the Gospel amid epochal change.
- Pope Leo XIV approved the document on August 21, 2026, with signatures from Cardinal Manuel Fern and Msgr. Armando Matteo, drawing extensively on teaching from the Second Vatican Council and the Popes.
- Debora Donnini reported the text places the kerygma at the heart of Gospel proclamation, stating: "Jesus Christ loves you; He gave His life to save you; and now He is living at your side."
- The document outlines three dimensions of witness—holiness, closeness, and the preferential option for the poor—while Many Bishops contributed testimonies of people who rediscovered the Lord Jesus.
- Clarifying it is a set of Considerations rather than a Doctrinal Note, the text begins with Matthew's invitation: "Come to me, all you who labor," and remains open to further analysis and development.
