An invitation to teach the Catholic faith "as a whole, with the courage and the persuasion which are typical of the people living within it and for it, without giving up explicitly proclaiming the moral values of the Catholic doctrine, which at times are the subject of debates under the political and cultural point of view. And debates take place on the social media, as happens with the values depending on the family, sexuality, and life". Today, Benedict XVI addressed that invitation to Uruguay’s bishops, received in ad limina visits by the Pope. The Pope recalled that the visit to the sepulchres of Saints Peter and Paul is also "an opportunity" to "strengthen the links of real and affectionate unity of the episcopal college, to be understood as supreme manifestation of the ideal typical of the original Christian community. In origin, the Christian community was ‘one heart and one soul’, a visible example for promoting the spirit of brotherhood and harmony within your believers and in the current society, too often dominated by individualism and exasperated competition". The Word of God, he pointed out, is "more and more necessary at a time when many other voices are trying to shut up God in personal and social life, leading men to undermine the real hope and to neglect the real truth in which the heart of men may rest". ” “
