On her part, the Church addresses people with full respect for their freedom. Her mission does not restrict freedom but rather promotes it. The Church proposes; she imposes nothing. She respects individuals and cultures, and she honors the sanctuary of conscience. To those who for various reasons oppose missionary activity, the Church repeats: Open the doors to Christ!I'm slowly working my way through JPII's encyclicals. This one about the Church's missionary mandate was good in a lot of ways.John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio
