Legal Systems, At Both The National And International Level, Are Therefore Required To Recognize, Guarantee And Protect Religious Freedom, Which Is A Right Intrinsically Inherent In Human Nature, In Man's Dignity As A Free Being, And Is Also An Indicator Of A Healthy Democracy And Cone Of The Main Sources Of The Legitimacy Of The State. Religious Freedom ... Favors The Development Of Relationships Of Mutual Respect Between The Different Confessions And Their Healthy Collaboration With The State And Political Society, Without Confusion Of Roles And Without Antagonism.

The First Setting In Which Faith Enlightens The Human City Is The Family.

God's Word Is Unpredictable In Its Power... The Church Has To Accept This Unruly Freedom Of The Word, Which Accomplishes What It Wills In Ways That Surpass Our Calculations And Ways Of Thinking.

We Need To Provide An Education Which Teaches Crit­ical Thinking And Encourages The Development Of Mature Moral Values.

If We Wish To Follow Christ Closely, We Cannot Choose An Easy, Quiet Life. It Will Be A Demanding Life, But Full Of Joy.
