Pope quotes Lumen Gentium at Angelus today

Moreover, within the Church particular Churches hold a rightful place; these Churches retain their own traditions, without in any way opposing the primacy of the Chair of Peter, which presides over the whole assembly of charity and protects legitimate differences, while at the same time assuring that such differences do not hinder unity but rather contribute toward it.

Contrast the Church in Austria which has done everything to oppose the will of the Pope and to destroy unity this past week.
