BRASILIA, Brazil, JULY 13, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Before the Catholic Church can be a more missionary church, it needs to first form a more missionary clergy, says the secretary-general of the Pontifical Missionary Union, Father Vito del Prete.
Father Del Prete arrived in Brazil last week to take part in the 1st Missionary Congress for Seminarians, held at the Major Seminary of Our Lady of Fatima in Brasilia, according to a note of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil.
"If we mobilize the clergy for the missionary cause, the whole Church will become missionary," he said in an address to 160 Brazilian seminarians, three bishops, and several priests who work with seminarians.
