Abstract
Religion, and especially Christianity, has always been in relation to the sociocultural environment in which they live. Today, it appears characterized by secularization, the techno-scientific picture of the world and cultural postmodernism. Despite its failure to adapt to this situation, the religion survives as precategorial "lived world", great stop for humans in a pluralistic, globalized, emotional and moralizing sociocultural context that keeps the question of the meaning of life. Man as a symbolic animal clings to religious experience. This draws a new line between religion and world that pope Francis' gestures seem to approach.
