Episode notes
Threefold Office of Episcopal College
- The episcopal college holds three offices: teaching, sanctifying, and governing, united in purpose and example of Jesus.
- These offices reflect the model of Jesus who came to serve, ensuring bishops lead with humility, not dominance.
Bishops as Stewards of Eucharist
- The bishop is the steward of Christ's priesthood and especially the Eucharist in his diocese.
- Through bishops and priests offering the Eucharist, the sanctifying work of Christ extends to the whole Church.
Limits of Church Infallibility
- Infallibility applies only to definitive teachings in faith and morals by the pope or bishops united with him.
- Other teachings require religious assent, showing varied levels of doctrinal authority.
