These same suggestions could be modified to fit any number of situations that exist among the faithful in the Church. Examples of such situations include groups of Catholics who wish to form a community, a prayer group or an organization that would provide charitable acts for the needy. The very fact that they associate freely makes them a de facto association. To protect their apostolate and promote unity within the Church, it is most helpful to draw-up statutes organizing the association and following the suggestions noted above. In closing, I emphasize a self-evident truth often overlooked.
Man is a social creature.
As such, we are interdependent on others in our pursuit for heaven's glory. God created us male and female and ordered us to fill the earth and subdue it. We cannot subdue the earth alone. By divine institution of marriage we fill the earth and by the natural use of associations, freely formed and directed in Christian charity, we can subdue the earth, conquering all for Christ and His bride the Church. Christ Himself did not go it alone.
