Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Myanmar talks during an interview at his office in Yangon on Jan. 6, 2015. The Church in Asia has started a process of searching for new ways to work for peace, dialogue and evangelization in the multi-religious continent, where masses suffer violence and poverty, says a top Asian cardinal.
When listening to the delegates from all the countries of Asia, “we see the diversity, the suffering masses that challenges,” said Cardinal Bo, also head of the Church in Myanmar, where violence continues as the junta government continues to suppress people’s clamor for democracy. Cardinal Bo said that new and sometimes even “different routes” are needed for Asian bishops to address the varied and widespread issues that communities face in different parts of Asia.
He said the Church in Asia is not one built by the emperors, not by the philosophers, nor great people. “But built by shepherds like Moses and fishermen like Saint Peter and Saint Paul,” said the Salesian cardinal, an ethnic Burmese. While the CELAM developed documented pastoral plans for their continent in their decennial conferences, based on the numerous country-level and diocesan-level discussions, the FABC so for had 11 plenary assemblies which discussed a particular theme with bishops and their delegates.
