The Pope instituted the ministry of catechist.
The Motu proprio of Pope Francis "Antiquum ministerium", with which Pope Francis establishes the lay ministry of catechist, was published on Tuesday, May 11, 2021. He presents this ministry as an emergency for the evangelization of the contemporary world.
"Fidelity to the past and responsibility for the present are the essential conditions for the Church to be able to accomplish its mission in the world: this is what Pope Francis writes in the Motu proprio Antiquum ministerium - liturgical memorial of St. John of Avila, priest and doctor of the Church - with which he institutes the lay ministry of catechist.
