The observation of my predecessor, Pope Paul VI, that “the split between the Gospel and culture is undoubtedly the drama of our time” (Evangelii Nuntiandi, no. 20), is manifest today as a “crisis of meaning” (cf. Fides et Ratio, no. 81). Ambiguous moral positions, the distortion of reason by particular interest groups, and the absolutization of the subjective, are just some examples of a perspective of life which fails to seek truth itself and abandons the search for the ultimate goal and meaning of human existence (cf. ibid., no. 47). Against the darkness of this confusion the light of the truth which you openly proclaim (cf. 2 Cor 4:2) will shine forth as a diakonia of hope, guiding men and women to understand the mystery of their own life in a coherent manner (cf. ibid., no. 15).
