Mons. Thomas Dabre*

The task is to proclaim that Jesus is the only saviour, whilst showing respect and appreciation for other religions. Correcting and purifying cultures must be done with "prudence and discretion", without using "arrogant and aggressive methods". The focus is on helping small basic ecclesial communities to mature in faith and life. The bishop of Poona laid out plans at the Plenary Assembly of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India of the Latin rite.

Mgr Thomas Dabre met the saint of Calcutta when he was young. In his diocese, the Missionaries of Charity run three homes. Mother Teresa remained humble despite the glory and fame. She showed that religion is not an abstract concept, but that it is way of knowing how to live and act according to one’s faith.
