Art/Literary - Religion / Speech by Pope Benedict XVI | | Italian term or phrase: "demondanizzata" | Contesto:
" ' Gli esempi storici mostrano che la testimonianza missionaria di una Chiesa **"demondanizzata"** emerge in modo più chiaro. Liberata dai fardelli e dai privilegi materiali e politici, la chiesa puo' dedicarsi meglio e in modo veramente cristiano al mondo intero, puo' essere veramente aperta al mondo.' "
Has to do with the Church giving up all wordly possessions/assets, to then live in poverty.
Molte Grazie,

Barbara,
This is a tough one, but there are severed of examples of "mondanizzazione" out there (I posted some links), so we can guess what "DEmondanizzata" would mean. Since mondanizzazione can mean worldliness, secularism, or materialism, I am wondering if "desecularized" would work here. Hope that helps! Good luck.
