HOLY FATHER: Catholics must overcome 'temptation' of divisions By Cindy Wooden, USCCB / CNS
Pope Francis speaks at a Vatican conference, "Pastors and lay faithful called to walk together," Feb. 18, 2023, in the Vatican Synod Hall. The meeting was sponsored by the Dicastery for Laity, the Family, and Life. (CNS photo/Vatican Media) The responsibility priests and laypeople share for the life of the church and its mission "is based on a correct vision of the church: the church as the people of God, of which the laity are a full part along with ordained ministers," Pope Francis told more than 200 laypeople, clergy and religious from 74 countries. "Thus, ordained ministers are not the masters, they are the servants; the shepherds, not the bosses." https://www.usccb.org/news/

The Universal Apostolic Preferences are the fruit of a process of discernment lasting almost two years. All Jesuits were invited to take part and in addition our mission partners. It concluded with confirmation from Pope Francis in a special meeting with Fr General Arturo Sosa. The Preferences give a horizon, a point of reference to the whole Society of Jesus. They capture our imaginations and awaken our desires. They unite us in our mission.
