It is founded on the conviction that persons with an intellectual disability have been chosen by God to confound the powerful and the intellectual. Its spirit is the spirit of the Gospel, the spirit of compassion and acceptance of human suffering. Each community wants to be inserted in the parish or the parishes of its members. Faith and Light thus desires to be a sign that the most vulnerable persons, and often the most rejected, are at the heart of the Church. In France, Monseigneur Thomazeau, bishop of Beauvais, is its accompanying bishop. The movement is attached to the Pontifical Council for the Laity in the Vatican. |
