" "Francis will go down in history as the Pope of reform. He has done a great deal to reform the Church, and this must continue, and I believe it will continue, for the simple reason that before leaving office he concluded the cycle of the Synod on synodality. And what has been produced by this Synod has become a heritage for the whole Church. Interviewer: You mentioned synodality. In mid-March, Francis approved the start of a synodal journey that should lead to an ecclesial assembly in 2028. Can we say that this synodal journey remains unfinished? Cardinal Ambongo: I wouldn't say unfinished. The Pope always repeated: "I pray to the Lord that he will grant me enough time so that the reforms that have begun can reach the point of no return." I believe that the reform initiatives undertaken by Francis have now reached that point. That is why I am convinced that the reforms will continue.

Additional quotes by Fridolin Ambongo Besungu
Noi abbiamo, almeno dall’esterno, l’impressione che l’Occidente stia perdendo le proprie radici e le radici dell’Occidente sono esattamente i valori che l’Occidente ci ha portato durante la colonizzazione e noi abbiamo creduto in questi valori; ma constatiamo oggi che per l’Occidente questi valori non esistono più e questo ci confonde un po’. Ci poniamo delle domande: dove sta andando l’Occidente con questo genere di passi? E quando ho detto che l’Occidente rischia di sparire è per il fatto che un popolo è anche la sua cultura, ma abbiamo l’impressione che l’Occidente non è più disposto ad assumere la sua cultura: tutto è relativizzato, tutto è messo in discussione, e questo comunque ci inquieta.
It has always been important for the Capuchins to encourage lay people to take an active part in the Church and in effect we have many local lay Catholics in the Franciscan Tertiary Order. This is very encouraging for us because the collaboration of well-prepared lay people is necessary for the apostolate.
