Abstract

Wincenty Pallotti (1795-1850) was called by the popes as a prophet of preaching secular people. He wanted to shape people as good Christians and active citizens. He claimed that one should help the preaching secular people in their social apostolic activity to show the Christian view of the world and man. The dynamic and intentional social apostolic activity requires specific preparation and pedagogical method. W Pallotti paid a special attention to the sudden need to enliven the faith amongst the believers while the Church was dealing with the rising problems on social and faith matters connected to the expanding its preaching. He thought that united members of the church both secular and ecclesiastic and their cooperation can accomplish the socio - apostolic mission of the Church. In time he thought of the idea to create the structural body which would help the preaching secular people in the Church and the Catholic United Apostolic organisation was created. It is uniting all the Catholics who would like to cooperate in diffusing the Catholic faith in the spirit of love and devotion. They would use the accessible measures to wide development of man. This activity concerns religious development as well as it is an attempt of socio-personal activity.
