Reflection
 39:  Article 25 of  THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH
 


                                       LUMEN GENTIUM
, 1964 


Bishops have many duties.
One of their most important duties is preaching the Good News

Bishops speak in the name of Jesus.
Catholics believe that it is right to obey their bishops,
especially the bishop of Rome, the pope

Catholics believe that the Holy Spirit guides the pope and bishops

This is the theory.
But this issue is not so simple -  see Reflection 36

Once again we come back to the one thing we can do - pray:

Jesus, please help all bishops...
especially the pope....to speak with your mind and your heart
