[With regard to the vote on Pius XII's Salus Populi Romani and the liberation of Rome from Nazi-Fascist oppression (4 June 1944)] The vote was not on… - Baldassare Reina
" "[With regard to the vote on Pius XII's Salus Populi Romani and the liberation of Rome from Nazi-Fascist oppression (4 June 1944)] The vote was not only the expression of an imminent need in the face of fear, but it should also involve an act of constant conversion. [...] It is a real commitment. The Roman people, says the prelate, have a great devotion to the Virgin, but this devotion needs to be translated into concrete gestures, because otherwise there is a risk of separating religious devotion from daily practice. Faith and works must always go hand in hand.

Q: In this sense, how should we interpret the Pope's decision to eliminate the central sector of the diocese? A: I would not speak of elimination, but I would start from Evangelii gaudium and from one of the principles most dear to Pope Francis in these 11 years: the Church that goes forth. If in this Church that goes forth we are not capable of reviewing the territorial organisation, it is not clear how we live this mission. The Pope's idea is that of greater interaction between the peripheries and the centre. The parishes in the centre cannot fail to feel the hardships of the peripheries, just as the peripheries cannot fail to participate in the beauty of the centre. So rather than eliminating the centre, I would say integrating the sectors of the diocese, including the centre.
