Vatican official in warning to Anglican bishops

A piece by George Conger on Romes response and advice to the Bishops at Lambeth.

"Cardinal Ivan Dias (pictured) , the prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples said internal dissention within the Christian world and external attacks were hindering the spread of the faith. However, “for a disciple of Jesus Christ” to “preach the Gospel is not an option, but a command of the Lord.”

Speaking to bishops gathered for the 14th Lambeth Conference on July 22, Cardinal Dias, who was accompanied by the Papal Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Faustino Sainz Munoz, said the battle to bring Christ to the world must be placed in the “wider context of spiritual combat” with Satan. “If this context is ignored in favour of a myopic world-vision, Christ’s salvation will be conveniently dismissed as irrelevant,” he argued."
