Doing the Work with the Soldiers He's Got
The Catholic Church is the church started directly by Jesus, and has had to work its way through time and history. It has had profound effects on most societies in the world, and the history of Christian countries.
Responsible to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Church must make its way in the world, bringing souls to the salvation offered by Him.
This lense is being built and a LONG way from my vision. Thanks for your patience! Contact me with suggestions.
The Role of the Bishop, Cardinal, Pope
Husbands in the Church
"The ring on the bishop's finger signifies that he is married to the Church... This ring, a nuptial symbol, expresses the particular bond between the bishop and the Church. For me it is a daily call to fidelity. It is like a silent question that echoes in my conscience: Am I totally dedicated to my Bride- the Church? Am I sufficiently "for" the communities, families, young and old people, and also "for" those yet to be born?"JPII in 'Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way'

Controversies & Developments
- Cd. Mahony's fishy fish lure
- Controversy over LA Archdiocese & expressions of LBGT support.
- Vatican officials comment on Cardinal Mahony's liturgical rebellion
- Naturally, the claim by Cardinal Mahony that he can authorize priests to ignore the liturgical rules the pope imposes on the Church has provoked comment and a fair amount of indignation among some of the clergy in Rome.
- Catholic, Orthodox Churches To Unite?
- The document signed in Ravenna establishes that the Pope is ?the primary among patriarchs? and Rome the ?first seat?.

So, the recognition of the Roman bishop's primacy has been established and local bishops are autonomous.
