Episode notes
Laypeople's Unique Prophetic Role
- Every baptized Christian shares in Christ's prophetic office by evangelizing and witnessing in everyday life.
- Laypeople uniquely evangelize within ordinary worldly circumstances, making their witness highly effective.
Laypeople's Active Church Participation
- Laypeople have a right and sometimes a duty to share their informed opinions for the good of the Church.
- They can also collaborate in catechesis, sacred teaching, and communications if capable and trained.
Self-Mastery as Kingly Office
- The first place to exercise Christ's kingly office is self-mastery and governing one's own passions.
- True kingship means ruling oneself to avoid slavery to sin and wickedness.
