The brothers should always remember that their public statements (in books, newspapers, on radio and television, and other forms of mass media) reflect not only on themselves but also on their brothers, on the Order and the Church.

If their speaking or writing is about controversial issues, they should give special attention to this crucial dialogue with major superiors.
