In an article in Vincentiana, Fr. Robert Maloney, C.M. writes:

Thank you for such a clear and compelling presentation on a timely topic. If the Church is to have the credibility necessary to promote Gospel values of charity and justice, compassion and community, its ministers– priests and bishops– must abolish clericalism and embrace the approach of St Vincent, which you so well illustrate here.
Am eternaly proud of the missionary nature of the Congregation of the Mission fathers
