114 III, 1,25 | at different levels.~The church in the first place promotes
115 III, 1,25 | dialogue within the Catholic Church herself. She is aware that,
116 III, 1,25 | harmful to the unity of the church, we must all apply to ourselves
117 III, 1,25 | by the magisterium of the church. In this light, listening
