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
