"It is important to strongly reaffirm the will of the Catholic Church to make its own contribution, in the spirit of service, towards an effort common to all Europeans. Many do not share our faith. Others suspect a desire for power on the part of the Church. Others think that the Church is closed, as if it were locked up in the past, and has nothing more to give to today's world. However, many are those who are expecting from the Church and from Christians, a word, a commitment."
