	Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (Congregatio pro Gentium Evangelizatione) is the congregation of the Roman Curia responsibile for missionary work and related activities.
		At the time of its inception, the expansion of colonial administrations was coming to be largely in Dutch and English hands, both Protestant countries intent on spreading these religious doctrines in the wake of commercial empire, and Rome perceived the very real threat of Protestantism spreading in the wake of commercial empire.
		In strongly Protestant areas, the operations of the Congregation were considered subversive: the first missionary to be killed was in Grisons, Switzerland, in April 1622, before the papal bull authorizing its creation had been disseminated.

		Secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples
		For this proclamation to be fulfilled and be in some way accepted, it is necessary to have friendly relations with the people to whom it is addressed; it is necessary to respect their values and their human and spiritual journey, as well as have a spirit of dialogue and mutual trust.

		Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples or for the Propagation of the Faith
		Cooperation, which is indispensable for the evangelization of the world, is a duty and a right of all baptized Christians.[14] It is rooted in their very identity as members of the Mystical Body and concretized in different forms and at different levels of responsibility and working involvement.
		The role of support and coordination on the part of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples at the universal level, and by the Bishops' Conferences and individual Bishops at the local level, greatly contributes to the unity of spirit and action of the bodies engaged in missionary cooperation.

	DIALOGUE AND PROCLAMATION
		Thus, through evangelization the Church "seeks to convert solely through the divine power of the Message she proclaims, both the personal and collective consciences of people, the activities in which they engage, their ways of life, and the actual milieux in which they live" (EN 18).
		Evangelization would be incomplete without it (EN 22), for without this central element the others, though in themselves genuine forms of the Church's mission, would lose their cohesion and vitality.
		On the other hand, in other situations where people are disposed to hear the message of the Gospel and have the possibility of responding to it, the Church is in duty bound to meet their expectations.

		There are also pontifical commisions under some of the congregations; a number of pontifical councils with special responsibilities (e.g., for ecumenical dialogue with other Christians, for the family, for issues relating to the sanctity of life, and for dialogue with nonbelievers); curial offices responsible for administering the Vatican property and treasury; and other bodies.
		A Roman congregation consists of a group of cardinals, headed by a prefect, together with two staffs that transact most of the business—one of major officials and the other of minor officials chosen by competitive examination and assigned to less important affairs.
		Of the Roman congregations, the two whose influence is felt most deeply throughout the church are probably the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.

	GUIDE FOR CATECHISTS - Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples
		The Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (CEP) has always had a special concern for catechists, convinced as it is that these are, under the direction of their Pastors, a factor of prime importance in evangelization.
		However, we may recall a clarification made in the past by the CEP itself: in his or her ordinary activity, "the catechist is not a simple substitute for the priest, but is, by right, a witness of Christ in the community".
		The tendency in general, and one which the CEP approves of and encourages, is for the figure of the catechist as such to be affirmed and developed, independently of the tasks he or she performs.

		Established in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV, the evangelization congregation's goals have remained much the same: propagating the faith throughout the entire world, coordinating the church's missionary activities, promoting a well-formed and trained clergy, and providing funding for the church's missionary activities.

		This congregation results of the unification of two dicasteries originally autonomous: the Congregation for Divine Worship, established by Paul VI with the motu propio Sacra Ritum Congregatio, on May 8, 1969 and the Congregation for the Discipline of the Sacraments instituted by St. Pius X with the apostolic constitution Sapienti Consilio, on June 29, 1908.
