"In Asia the home of the great contemplative traditions, the dialogue of religious experience is of utmost importance. We would have a message for Asia only when our Asian brethren see in us the marks of God-realized persons. This dialogue is not opposed to the mission, but an integral part of the evangelizing mission of the Church which aims at making herself fully present as and when God wills, to all persons and peoples."

"The faith has been handed down from generation to generation through suffering and sacrifice, and the Church is duty-bound to protect this faith."
