Abstract

Fidelity in preaching is part of a preacher’s identity. The paper aims to present the importance of fidelity in current times. It analyses the recommendations of the last three popes to priest preachers. The first part focuses on identifying the main influences that shape attitudes of fidelity in the preaching ministry. The second part examines the environment in which the preaching ministry takes place while testing a preacher’s faithfulness. The conclusion of the paper offers specific recommendations for preachers.

Keywords:
