"The Church is Jesus Christ communicated. This communication has two organically linked aspects, whose phenomenology is divinely revealed. On the one hand, the MISSIO: ‘Go, teach, baptise, educate...’ (Matthew XXVIII, 18-20). This is what we find in the Church militant, ‘until the end of the age’: catechesis, the sacraments, and the government (of souls). On the other hand, there is the SESSIO: ‘You who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging...’ (Matthew 19:28). Thus, even in the Church militant, the hierarchy that manifests and realises catholicity is established. The distinction and unity between Missio and Sessio are so inherent in the Church that they are recognised by Canon Law, both universally and in particular."

L’Église, c'est Jésus-Christ communiqué. Cette communication comporte deux aspects organiquement liés, dont la phénoménologie est divinement révélée. D'une part, la MISSIO : "Allez, enseignez, baptisez, éduquez..." (Matth. XXVIII, 18-20). Voilà, dans l'Église militante, "jusqu’à la fin du siècle", la catéchèse, les sacrements, le gouvernement (des âmes). D'autre part, la SESSIO : "Vous qui m’avez suivi, vous serez assis, vous aussi, sur douze trônes, jugeant..." (Matth. XIX, 28). Voilà instaurée
