By adoption through the grace of baptism we become sons and daughters of the King. The sons and daughters of the King are most definitely royalty.
“Are you saying that you don’t have Christ within you?”
My, my, how quickly you become an ‘Inquisitor’... this is what brought on the ‘Inquisition’. Shame on you.
I think that all you people so esteemed in ‘tradition’ are missing my point of expression. And that is that, the ‘hierarchy’ of the church over time has taken on more ‘earthly’ ROYALTY and mistakenly, through this misguided attempt at ‘earthly ROYALTY’ in example and expression (a friend of mine couldnt get married in his fiance’s parish because they wouldn’t accept his Pre Canan class cert from another parish, but a neighboring parish did), has alienated many people brought up in the Catholic faith. I have known more people turned off than turned on by a lot of what has occurred along those lines.
Sorry I’m not catholic as you seem to imply Those that parade as earthly royalty have their reward already and will be left wanting in the life to come No argument from me there I was speaking of our heavenly position in Christ
