The Late Avery Cardinal Dulles
“It will be enough for you to aim at the objectives so lucidly described in the leaflet on “The Evangelical Catholic Vision” distributed by the Institute sponsoring this lecture. It calls for five qualities: interior conversion, devotion to the Scriptures, habits of discipleship, Christian community, and commitment to the work of evangelization. Any Catholic who feels called to grow in these qualities can rest assured of being attuned to the needs of the Catholic Church today. I pray that God may bless and prosper your parish and campus ministry” (Excerpt from The Basic Christian Message as a Form of Ecumenism, April, 2005).
