How to Evangelize

You don't necessarily "proclaim," exactly.  Sometimes, it's as simple as an invitation, or a gesture, or a state of being.  It all comes down to transmitting the Holy Spirit--that is, the divine life and love.  When you're transparent to those to divine characteristics, other people meet Jesus and his Church, as Archbishop Dolan demonstrates.  Excerpts:

...Archbishop Dolan has frequently been compared to the late archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. The comparison tends to drive me crazy. Talk about raising expectations!

There were a lot fewer choices in the media then, a lot less to compete with. Let Archbishop Dolan make his own way, do his own thing, do what he can.

And so he is.

As it turns out, his approach is much older than Archbishop Sheen. It’s as old as Christianity. It’s the call of Christianity: to bring Christ to others through love.
