Address Quote by Joseph Edward Kurtz

“Our Holy Father... is very clear that, of course, the teachings of the Church must be preserved and passed on. However, we need to do this in a way that the Holy Father says is creative. We need to do it in a way that we look for new strategies that address the hearts of people.” quote by Joseph Edward Kurtz
