The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan (CBCJ) has renewed its pledge to respond more appropriately and adequately to sexual abuse cases, primarily those wherein clergy and Church leaders are involved.
The Asian Catholic church should be self-reliant and do its share in the mission of the worldwide church, said Archbishop Tarcisio Isao Kikuchi, SVD, of Tokyo.
The archbishop of Japan’s capital city said that being a missionary is not about numbers, wealth, or
fame, but genuine faithfulness to the Gospel of the Lord.
