We are, besides, in the best possible conditions to serve and foster the unity of the Church. It is difficult for us to interfere with the apostolic work of others, because our work is objectively different, and the way we carry it out is also different, always through professional human work.

Being of service to unity: with an apostolate distinct from that of the religious and of other associations of the faithful

Our apostolate is completely different, in the first place, from that of the religious, for the simple reason that we are not religious, nor have we been born to supplant them. We also work in a different way from other associations of the faithful, because our apostolic tasks have professional work as their basis – they are not just something added on to people’s ordinary professional activity – and demand complete dedication to God in the activities, which at the same time are professional and apostolic.
