Catechism Paragraph

¶ 856

The Missionary task implies a Respectful dialogue with those who do not yet accept the Gospel. 359 Believers can profit from this dialogue by learning to appreciate better "those elements of Truth and Grace which are found among peoples, and which are, as it were, a secret Presence of God." 360 They proclaim the Good News to those who do not know it, in order to consolidate, complete, and raise up the truth and the Goodness that God has distributed among men and Nations, and to purify them from error and Evil "for the Glory of God, the confusion of the demon, and the happiness of man." 361
