“The supreme business of a foreign missionary society is to put itself out of business as soon as possible. Since the aim of the missions is the establishment of the Church through the native clergy, foreign missionaries should strive to be self-liquidating. In theory, a day ought to come when the whole world would have had Christ preached to it and Africa, India, Japan, and Mongolia should have their own hierarchy, their own clergy, and be as free from the need of missionary imports as is the United States today.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Missions and the World in Crisis)
