"Priests must be helped to put away the idea that they alone (or even chiefly) are responsible for the mission of the Church, which is a responsibility given to the whole community though at different levels and in different ways. Without an education for communion there is a danger of perpetuating the dichotomy between clergy and laity, leading to authoritarianism which we often condemn in political or civic leadership."
