Monsignor Pope Ping!
The Church is the Body of Christ, those who are in Him.
[It is a wonderful reminder that the Church is not an institution, but a Body, made up of members who, each in his own unique way, give witness to the one Body, which is Christ.]
Aka the priesthood of all believers.
Too bad job security evidently meant more to Marty than “standing” upon that.
I think that's exactly what Christians have been telling Roman Catholics on these threads.
At least one catholic priest gets “the church, with small ‘c’” right!
Thank you for the very nice salute to Lutheran Johann Sebastian Bach.
Martin Luther smiles down upon you from heaven!

“It is the bursting out of the Gloria on Holy Saturday”
This is such a sweet moment, just past midnight, when the bells happily announce the Resurrection and absolute victory of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ over death and sin. Tears of joy!
I feel sad for the sectarians who have no experience of these blessed moments in the divine liturgy. Their heritage has been stolen from them.
