Quotes

• All those who find themselves between two opposing factions suffer and the church was always a victim of this cross fire, not least because each of the parties claims the support of the Catholic church.

• Realise that we have been sent to transmit the message of Christ which is not identified with any culture and that, therefore, we must not preach theories of our own invention. This way, we will be able to evangelise cultures and the people of Africa. Outside of their own culture, the families will not be Christian, but only copies of Christian families and little more.
