"The Church will lose many of her faithful, and in a short time organized groups will turn them away from their faith in exchange for material help and other services. From this Synod for America, I call upon Latin America, despite her poverty, to help Canada and the United States. It is also a fact that on our continent the social and economic gap between North and South is often very wide. As Pastors, we must do all we can to eliminate or at least reduce this gap."
