Vatican publishes Venite ad me document

The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published a document titled Venite ad me on October 22, 2026, in Rome. Approved by Pope Leo XIV, the text addresses the transmission of the faith in the context of secularization and widespread individualism.

The document states that the transmission of faith has been interrupted in many places. It notes that these disruptions have occurred globally over recent decades, rather than being limited to Europe. The text identifies the family and the parish community as the primary elements of faith transmission.

The document was authorized for publication in late August by Pope Leo XIV. According to a Vatican source, Pope Francis requested the document toward the end of his life. The text encourages the faithful to adapt evangelization language to account for the global spread of digital technologies.
