marginal thoughts no.3

a peek at my notes. sometimes, doodles that litter page margins are more meaningful for me.

during our class in Canon Law, the professor asked: Why is there (a need for) hierarchy in the Church? instead of raising my hand, i scribbled this down with these words: …Because there is a necessary and complementary relationship between internal and external realities. That which is internal demands an external expression, and such externalities protect and preserve that which is interior. Therefore, because Christ is the one head of His mystical body, the hierarchy (atop of which is the Holy Pontiff) becomes the actualized expression of that spiritual reality.
