Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to show the way in which leaders are formed in the Roman Catholic Church. The analysis starts with a short presentation of the method used by Jesus Christ in forming his disciples. Then, it attempts to update the model of Jesus by applying it to our times; the attempt is realized by presenting three embodiments of leadership: a priest, a catechist, and an evangelizer.
