"The laity must be the engine of dialogue, as the link between government, political parties and other religious groups. Giving them more power can only benefit the nation. In order to implement the dialogue I have in mind we have to teach lay Catholics the concepts of openness and identity. Everyone should be open to other faiths, and be ready to respect their neighbours. At the same time, we must not forget to share our identity, without fear."
