"Not only did I not intend to 'found' anything, but I believe that the genius of the movement that I saw coming to life lies in having felt the urgency to proclaim the need to return to the elementary aspects of Christianity, that is to say, to the passion of the Christian fact as such, in its original elements, and nothing more." - Msgr. Luigi Giussani to Pope John Paul II on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the birth of Communion & Liberation.
