Catholics are called to live out their faith in their daily lives, this is our our path to holiness. The Church in Christifideles Laici warns lay Catholics that they must avoid two great temptations: first of creating a separation of their faith from their life and second becoming too focused on Church affairs that they forget their primary role is in the secular world.

Lay people also need to shoulder and carry out their part in the mission of the Church, especially in the “new evangelization” and the evangelization of culture of which Pope John Paul II spoke so often. |
