He defended the freedom of human beings, families, nation and the Church pointing out that only through true freedom can they really develop and realise their vocation and mission. He pointed out the need for justice done out of love, towards every human being, family and nation. He spoke clearly about duties and responsibilities of the state and the Church towards every human being, families, who are the cradle of of the nation, and the nation itself, which is family of families. He portrayed the Church as playing a special role for those societies bringing into their life not only the extramundane dimension, God’s grace and salvation, but also caring about national interest when it comes to natural dimension. The Church must be free in its activity in order to fulfill well its religious and social role. The Primate recalls the need for state and the Church to cooperate out of concern for the man, the family and the nation. When the communistic state didn’t fulfill its role and acted against families and nation, he opposed those actions calling for dignity, rights, truth, freedom and justice towards every human being, family and family of families the nation.
