Komunikacja niewerbalna w misji nowej ewangelizacji. Aspekt teologicznomoralny

The new evangelization is the most important task of today’s Catholic Church. Preaching the Gospel occurs via human communication. The research conducted by the scientists of the humanities points to the importance of body language in interpersonal communication. Likewise, the Magisterium sees its elements in the process of evangelization. This mission is also connected with theological and moral aspects. The aim of this article is to define the moral implications associated with nonverbal communication in the work of the new evangelization. In this context, one can talk about an obligation to preach the Gospel effectively, i.e. taking into account the fact that such effectiveness is influenced by the awareness of one’s own nonverbal messages and of the foundations of communication theory. An act of communication may involve the sins of neglect, isolation and aggression.
