The Great Legacy of the Great Jubilee
Sept 15, 2004

(National Catholic Reporter, November 3, 2003) “I would say the Church clearly received a new impulse. Not just in the external manifestations of the Jubilee Year, which obviously are finished, but in the motivation for these events. What was that motive? That the Church undertake an examination of conscience after 2,000 years, leading to a new outlook that would render the Church more incarnate in the world of today. This outlook in turn generated a more mature Christianity, a more mature faith, more self-conscious, more aware. This is the great legacy of the Jubilee. Departing from this new outlook, many pastors in the world were stimulated to launch a ‘new evangelization’ to make the faithful themselves more responsible, and thus more coherent in their Christian life. I think there was a reawakening, what the pope has called almost a ‘new springtime’ for the Church.”
