"Collegiality does not exist when Bishops are passive, but when they take the initiative in bringing forward problems and possibilities, as they share the roles of teaching, sanctifying and governing. Collegiality simply expresses the apostolic origin of the Church entrusted by Christ to the Apostles and by them to their successors. The dialogue of salvation needs to be kept open."
