The beginning of the "Decade of Francis" marks the introduction of the first iPhone on the market. Although this theoretically had nothing to do with the Church and the papacy, it radically changed the lives of believers. It is therefore hard to imagine that it did not affect the way the head of the Church governs. The technological revolution meant that part of our lives moved to the digital world. We have created another continent - the digital one - on which both believers and the Church had to exist.

The challenges of the secular world, especially those related to the development of technology, are special - the modern scientific boom is trying to offer man what was previously unthinkable: salvation on earth. Many have tried it before. Various totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century, which were mostly messianic in nature, tried to convince humanity that we can achieve heaven on earth only through work, technology or competition.

Will the actions of Pope Francis be able to counter this trend and steer the Church in new directions? It is worth trying to understand the title "Decade of Francis" without clichés and stereotypes, analyzing what has happened in the Church recently. Not only from a Polish or European perspective. This book is an invitation to reflect on the condition of the modern Church and its future in a rapidly changing world.
