(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The laity are not, and were never meant to be, the “long arm” of the hierarchy.   They are not a part or an extension of an official Catholic system.   They are, or rather each one is, in his or her own right and on the basis of his or her piety and competence and doctrine, meant to be the presence of Christ in secular affairs.  Monsignor Cormac Burke  

There is nothing that God could not do without me.   But there are many things that He has elected to do through me, provided I am a supple instrument in His hand.   The true continuation of the priesthood is, therefore, the giving of ourselves so completely to the great high Priest that we have no other feelings, or emotions, or desires, than Christ Himself.  Ven. Fulton J. Sheen
