Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle highlighted the challenges the Catholic Church is facing due to the hardening of borders and increasing suspicion and exclusion, emphasizing that these can only be overcome with love. He made this statement during an address at the MISAL meeting in Goa, India.
Catholic Church faces tremendous challenges posed by hardening of borders across the world coupled with suspicion, exclusion, politics and fear which could be overcome only with love, said Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle , pro-prefect of Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization.
Delegates from 22 religious congregations from across the world joined the gathering, themed “Journeying Together: Encountering Frontiers.”Priests and laity refused to accept some bishops appointed by the pope because they were not from their ethnic groups, he pointed out. He emphasized the importance of understanding “frontiers” in the context of walking together for evangelization and offered a threefold explanation of the term.
Highlighting the need for attentiveness to frontiers, Tagle stressed the importance of redefining cultural elements for better understanding. He recalled the case of a diocese in Rome that was without a bishop for 10 years. After a bishop was appointed, he was shot in the leg by a gunman before being rescued by two priests.
He said in the US, frontier refers to areas settled by the Europeans or an edge/area of a country not settled or unexplored or lawless, or even inferior.
