of the diocesan bishop in his pastoral duty.⁴⁶⁷ From the outset of the
work of evangelization, the missionary “planting” and expansion of
the Church require the presence of the religious life in all its
forms.⁴⁶⁸ “History witnesses to the outstanding service rendered
by religious families in the propagation of the faith and in the formation of
new Churches: from the ancient monastic institutions to the medieval orders,
all the way to the more recent congregations.”⁴⁶⁹
