It's probably just a tradition of men or a vain philosophy, but where I come from if we're going to talk about something we often start by trying to get clear on what it is we're talking about.

Here the question would be what do we mean by "Church" and by "The Church."

Ah, well now I do believe he explained what he meant by the Church when he said “It is the Mother Church who gives us Jesus, who gives us the identity that is not only a seal, it is a belonging,” he declared in his homily.

The Heavenly Father gave us Jesus, and had Isaiah write it down long before the appointed time came to pass. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the LORD Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Immanuel means God with us, and the 'church' had not one thing to do with this.

Christ ordered the preacher/priest/teacher class to 'feed His sheep', and He was not giving a 'social justice' class 101. And He was not passing His crown and authority over to men of the cloth, to make new and resurrect old traditions of the ancients into His gospel.

Some will say things are the same as they always have been and will continue on as they have been... Not so, there is that proverbial line in the sand when the stench of this worldly ways reaches to high Heaven and the Father pulls the worldly plug. The Catholic pope missed a grand opportunity to make know the dastardly deeds done with our tax dollars in that 'social justice' program called 'Planned Parenthood'.
