On 31 March 197 Pope John Paul II said of Communion and
\nLiberation<\/a>: “I like this name very much.” Here’s his explanation:<\/i><\/p>\n

So you too,
\nyoung people, beloved young people, have shown, in the very name chosen to
\ndescribe your movement “Communion and Liberation” (I must say that I
\nlike this name very much, I like it for many reasons: for a theological reason
\nand for, I would say, an ecclesiological reason. This name is so closely linked
\nwith the ecclesiology of Vatican II. Then I like it because of the perspective
\nit opens to us: the personal, interior perspective and the social perspective:
\nCommunion and Liberation. For its topicality, this is the task of the Church
\ntoday: a task which is expressed precisely in the name “Communion and
\nLiberation.” With this name, therefore, you have shown that you are well aware
\nof the deepest expectations of modern man. <\/p>\n

The liberation to which the world
\naspires–you have reasoned–is Christ; Christ lives in the Church; man’s true
\nliberation takes place, therefore, in experience of ecclesial communion; to
\nbuild up this communion is, therefore, the essential contribution that
\nChristians can make to the liberation of all.<\/p>\n
