Description

"There is today … a growing confusion which leads many to leave the missionary command of the Lord unheard and ineffective. Often it is maintained that any attempt to convince others on religious matters is a limitation of their freedom… In the face of these problems the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has judged it necessary to publish the present Note … intended to clarify the relationship between the missionary command of the Lord and respect for the conscience and religious freedom of all people".
