Adrianus Johannes Simonis

Adrianus Johannes Simonis (26 November 1931 – 2 September 2020) was a Dutch prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of the Diocese of Rotterdam and as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Utrecht. Quotes Today, the Church is a minority. Only few know who Christ is and how to find Him. Even the Church is influenced by the dominating mentality at the risk of reducing the Gospel to a repetition of words or a moral appeal, which, however, don't give the necessary answers to a world, living in confusion. Christian faith is essentially an encounter with the living Christ. The Church is invited to meet Him with the joy of the beginning. H. Em. Card.
