Public engagement and witness

Abstract

There is now a fashion for marketing and rely strongly on a favorable presentation of self in public. Social life becomes increasingly a game of appearances and fiction. The winner is the one who makes a better impression and whoever reads nicer-sounding fiction. Specialists in social relations and the creation of positive images in the media, train not only the politicians. These types of trends begin to undergo some people and the environment in the Church. It is of concern, when the movements areincreasingly training Catholic activists, takes precedence over the formation of mature Christians. The new evangelizers not become well-trained activists and specialists to create a positive image, but the holy witnesses of Jesus. The formation of Catholic movements should apply priority of formation of mature people, before the training of efficient leaders.
