Correct response: What are missionaries?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
This comes from the Maximum Illud issued by Pope Benedict XV on November 30, 1919, and speaks of the work that missionaries (“emissaries of the Church”) did with spreading the Christian faith to places such as Australia, the interior of Africa, and the Pacific islands.
You can find the full text of the letter at the Vatican’s website.
