Pope Francis’ ecclesial action

a case study

Abstract

Pope Francis’ ecclesiastical ministry exposes it’s new ecclesiological paradigm in the current times. It’s performance is shown in the context of the Latin American Theology pastoral activity. This article analyzes the impact of Pontiff apostolic action from his speeches, gestures and meanings inside a juvenile perspective. Therefore, seven questionnaires are selected to be applied on male youngsters between 21 and 26 years old, members of an Apostolic Institute of Religious Life in the city of Porto Alegre - RS (Brazil). They are significant on the ministerial duty with Pope Francis. The study points for an apostolate from the Pope consistent with the Christian Protestant proposal, the conduction of the human and affective relationships on the Church and the eclesial and pastoral renewal.
