Becoming a Poor Church for the Poor: The Vincentian Charism, an Invitation to the Church’s Bold Reform Today

Dominique Iyolo explains how the Vincentian charism anticipated and is reflected in Pope Francis’s Evangelii Gaudium, and how it is being put into practice for the service of the poor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Madagascar. Iyolo discusses the theology behind the preferential option for the poor and also describes how their suffering is caused by a spiritual poverty of the rest of the world.
