14 May 24 – Who Is the Ultimate Authority in the Church?

Every member of the Catholic Church who is living on Earth is subject to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ. This position does not make the Pope a perfect man. Being Pope does not free him of any criticism. Bishop Strickland joins Terry Barber on The Bishop Strickland Hour to talk about how we can remain in Christ's Church and call the Pope to Fidelity when he makes comments that are contrary to the Deposit of Faith. Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Jn 15:9-17 - Jesus said to His disciples: “As the Father loves Me, so I also love you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. “I have told you this so that My joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is My commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from My Father. It was not you who chose Me, but I Who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you. This I command you:  Love one another.” Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss who, exactly, is the ultimate authority in the Church
