Abstract

The scenario we find ourselves in worldwide is that of a globalized world. However, the fact that this phenomenon is taking place in general, based on the continuous increase in the interconnection between the different nations of the world in the economic, political, social and technological fields, makes more evident the inequalities that exist between the different States that make up our world. It is very interesting to analyse how an institution as old as the Catholic Church has been facing the challenges that adapting to the current model of society undoubtedly entails for a traditional institution.

Today our society has been completely transformed and the digital era has burst onto the scene. The Catholic Church has not been oblivious to the changes that our society is experiencing, and so we will make a brief analysis of the most significant changes that have taken place in the way in which the Catholic Church tries to carry out its pastoral function. We will analyse how the Catholic Church is implementing new tools to adapt to the changes that are constantly taking place in our society.
