  20. No, in fact, not.  Priests and lay people are in a mutual feedback loop,
  21. according to the section on Vatician II's definition of the structure of
  22. the Church, in the St. Joseph's Daily Missal.

  27.  
  28. All of these are priests, and priests, in following the Good Shepherd's
  29. example, are the servants of the flock.   (Point of fact, the Pope is
  30. chosen by the Cardinals.)

  36. I just don't understand the fascination non-Catholics have with things
  37. Catholic.   It does make me think it is something of value.
