The difference is that you and I and St. Jerome and Helga the Christian washerwoman are not God.
There will forever be a distinction between the finite and the infinite.
I'm not talking about you, nor I, nor St. Jerome, nor Helga the Christian washerwoman. I'm talking about the BODY of CHRIST, the CHURCH. The CHURCH supersedes any individual. Christ is the Head; the Church is the Body. The Body acts, Christ does the thinking for it. When the Church is active, there is no individual anymore, only Christ. If there is an individual present, that is not Christ, and not the Church. When a person acts in persona Christi, they become a channel through which the Lord acts materially and instrumentally in the world, as He willed it.

“Christ does the thinking for it.”
The key!
Christ, the thinker, is the true author of the Bible.
It is the product of God’s “brain” - not man’s.
