6. Conclusion

This explanation was imperative. It has the character of a legitimate self­-defense of our Catholic consciences in the face of a diplomatic system which is making the atmosphere unbreath­able to them and, putting anti‑Com­munist Catholics in a most difficult situation in which their position was becoming unexplainable to the public. We repeat this, as a conclusion, at the close of this declaration.

However, no conclusion would be complete without the reaffirmation of our unrestricted and loving obedience not only to the Holy Church but also to the Pope in all of the terms com­manded. by Catholic doctrine.

May Our Lady of Fatima help us in this way which we follow out of fidelity to Her message, and with the joy of anticipation that the promise She made will be accomplished: "In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
