Saint John Paul II's Words for the Synod Fathers in Familiaris Consortio

Because it is the task of the apostolic ministry to ensure that the Church remains in the truth of Christ and to lead her ever more deeply into that truth, pastors must promote the sense of faith in all the faithful, examine and authoritatively judge the genuineness of its expressions and educate the faithful in an ever more mature evangelical discernment.

— St. John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio
