IN ANY CASE, BELIEVERS MUST BE INVITED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THEIR OWN FAITH AND NOT TO CONTRADICT IT WITH THEIR ACTIONS; THEY MUST BE ASKED TO OPEN THEMSELVES AGAIN TO GOD’S GRACE AND TO DRAW FROM THE DEPTHS OF THEIR OWN CONVICTIONS ABOUT LOVE, JUSTICE AND PEACE. IF A MISUNDERSTANDING OF OUR OWN PRINCIPLES HAS SOMETIMES LED US TO JUSTIFY THE MISTREATMENT OF NATURE, THE DESPOTIC DOMINATION OF HUMAN BEINGS OVER CREATION, OR WARS, INJUSTICE AND VIOLENCE, WE BELIEVERS CAN RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE THEN BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO THE TREASURE OF WISDOM THAT WE MUST KEEP.
