Jesuit General Superior on Evangelization

Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, the General Superior of the Society of Jesus, was present during the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization. He began his intervention at the synod:

Coming from a Missionary Order, I feel the obligation to reflect on our past history. We can hardly think of a New Evangelization, unless we are sure we have learnt something from the First Evangelization, from the things we did well and from the mistakes we committed as well as the insufficiencies we suffered in our desire to communicate the Gospel.

A summary article is at the National Jesuit News with link to his intervention text.
