I got a notion on my way to Mass. Our protestant brethren tend to think that having authority means having power, being able to push people around and tell them what to do and think and all.
We tend to think having authority means bearing a great responsibility, being VERY accountable, voluntarily imperiling yourself.

Good point. We don’t say “the floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops” for nothing.

I know that’s how I think of it, not some fresh tyranny, but rather the burden of duty.

You know better than that Mad Dawg. We know where our authority comes from.
