Vatican doctrine office to release document on transmission of the faith in October

The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will publish a new document titled Venite ad Me in mid-October to address the challenges of passing on the faith to future generations. The text, which translates to "Come to Me," responds to a request from Pope Francis that was later embraced by Pope Leo XIV.

A source from the dicastery told ACI Prensa that the document explores various ways to encourage dioceses to reflect on the difficulties and new opportunities for sharing faith in Jesus Christ. The text addresses how to successfully transmit the faith in a world where doing so is becoming increasingly difficult in many regions.

To ensure the document reflects a wide range of global contexts, the Vatican consulted bishops' conferences worldwide, receiving responses from 70 percent of them. This work follows an earlier announcement in May by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández that the dicastery was preparing a broad document on the subject in dialogue with the Dicastery for Evangelization.
