The life of our Church will become one flock
The birth of the Church in America, so far from their center of life in Rome and at a time when communications were very difficult, psychologically caused lack of interest occurred about Church events in the world. That, somehow, has continued over time despite the speedy communications. It is common for Catholics working or are not aware of the important events of the Church or of the documents emanating from the Holy See. For example, for many Catholics is remote that the Pope has sent the Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Dei. Normally they will be few who read it.
