Superare le divisioni
Overcome divisions
"Do you know what 'making our self one' means? It means 'cutting' with your own culture at its very roots, to enter into another person's culture and understand it, to let them express themselves until you have understood it within. At this point, yes, you could begin a dialogue with them, and pass on the gospel message through the riches that they already possess. 'Making ourselves one' - which 'inculturation' requires - means entering into the other persons' mentality, their traditions, their customs, their 'soul', entering into the culture, to understand it and draw out from it the seeds of the truth, the seeds of the Word, the seeds of the Word of God."
