Through in-depth study of two of the aspects shown in the diagram, their contributions allow us to consider Christianity as a living religious tradition. The significant contributions of Pope John XXIII, during his papal and pre-papal life, have had lasting effects not only on Catholicism, but on Christianity as a whole and have led to the sense that Christianity is a living religious tradition. His works include two papal encyclicals, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris, as well as his work as Apostolic Delegate of Greece and Türkiye. Furthermore, the significant practice of baptism has further contributed to the Christian being considered a living religious tradition as it represents the premise for the initiation of most Christian beliefs, especially in terms of salvation and the affirmation of beliefs in the trinity and in following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity is considered a living religion especially in terms of its scope for salvation. In the present, through the practice of Baptism, Christians believe they are dying to the life of Original Sin and being reborn in Christ, thus being able to achieve Salvation. Therefore, the tradition and sacred ritual of baptism imply that to be an active adherent of the Catholic Church, one must be baptized, just as Jesus was in the New Testament: “Peter said unto them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized.” you in the name of Jesus Christ." (Acts 2:38) Another way baptism demonstrates that Christianity is a living religious tradition is through teachings associated with the purpose of human existence. Through the act of Baptism, which is a direct demonstration of belief in Salvation through Jesus, the purpose of human life is presented in terms of the adherent's purpose to love... at the center of the paper... follows this moral throughout his pontificate. Thus, following the works and teachings of inclusion of Jesus, John XXIII contributed to Christianity being considered a living religious tradition. Christianity is clearly a living religious tradition both through the significant figure of Roncalli and through the practice of baptism. The continuing effects of the impact of Pope John XXIII in his encyclicals and of himself catalyzing Vatican II and the “updating” create the sense that Christianity is a living religious tradition. The sacred practice of baptism allows adherents to make their faith physical, including belief in the trinity, and allows candidates to become one with God through the renewal of life, abolishing original sin. It is evident that both aspects of the Christian faith have led to Christianity being considered a living religious tradition.
