Asia’s Catholic Church leaders should follow the example of Jesus whose journey with the people was of “mercy and compassion, not of condemnation; of patience, not of destruction.”
This year’s general conference, the first since the pandemic in 2020, marked the 50th anniversary of FABC and carried the theme “Journeying together as Peoples of Asia.” Cardinal Tagle said the story suggests that “journeying together” needs to be “intended, chosen and willed” and cannot just be left to “chance.”
“In prayer and in a spirit of collaboration, we desire to respond to these challenges by relying on the power of love, compassion, justice, and forgiveness,” the bishops said in their message. “We commit ourselves to bridge-building not just among religions and traditions but also by principled engagement with governments, NGOs [nongovernment organizations], and civic organizations on issues of human rights, eradication of poverty, human trafficking, care of the earth, and other common concerns,” they said.
Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Yangon, FABC president, said that “only when we walk together as one that we can serve more effectively.”
