The cardinal was convinced he had a mission.

Dr. Jože Pirjevec, historian and author of the biography of Edvard Kardelj, discusses Kardelj's belief in having a divine mission to create a future model that would save both Yugoslav nations and the world. He notes Kardelj's deep understanding of international affairs and his willingness to sacrifice personal life for this mission, which sometimes led to conflict.

"Kardelj je bil človek velike izobrazbe in velike inteligence. Mislim, da med slovenskimi politiki najbolj izstopa. Ko sem bral njegove analize politične situacije, ki jih je pisal že med vojno in seveda pozneje, ko je bil del oblasti od leta 1945 dalje, moram reči, da sem se vedno čudil, kako pronicljivo je znal razumeti kompleksno mednarodno dogajanje. S tega zornega kota je bil brez dvoma zelo nadarjen politik."

"Po drugi strani pa je bil človek, ki je imel prepričanje, da ima misijo, človeško misijo, usodno misijo, da ustvari model bodočnosti, ki naj reši ne samo jugoslovanske narode, ampak svet. V tem smislu je bil pripravljen žrtvovati marsikaj, tudi svoje lastno življenje in pa tudi življenje drugega. Tako da je tu ena dvoličnost, eno hrepenenje po odrešiteljski vlogi, ampak to hrepenenje ne izključuje nasilja."
