"To help the Church  carry out its duty of scrutinizing the signs of the times and of  interpreting them in the light of the Gospel. Thus, she can  respond, in language  intelligible to each generation, to the perennial questions which men and women ask about this present life and the life to come, and about the relationship of the one to the other. We must therefore recognize and understand the world in which we live, its expectations, its longings, and its often dramatic characteristics. "
(Gaudium et Spes: 4)
