CWN Editor's Note: A bishop should be the “visible principle of unity” in his diocese, Pope Leo XIV said in a June 25 meditation for bishops.
“It is his duty to build communion among its members and with the universal Church, by fostering the variety of gifts and ministries given for its own growth and the spread of the Gospel,” the Pope continued.
