Rome,  12 October 2003

 

Dear Cardinal,

 

Five years ago, when our Brother Pope John Paul II celebrated the twentieth anniversary of his election to the ministry of Peter, we sent the attached letter to all the Cardinals.  We also included our statement, A Pope for the Time to Come, which was endorsed in 1998 by about 150 groups of dedicated and committed Catholics all over the world.

 

We believe that our reflections are as relevant and valuable as they were five years ago, and, therefore, we want to share them with you once again on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the election of Pope John Paul II.  We hope they will be helpful in the coming days when you have a dialogue with your brother Cardinals and with the Bishop of Rome on the great challenges facing the world and the Church today.

 

We pray for a blessing on our worldwide community of faith in the coming days and months, and we pray to God that his/her blessings may be with you.
