People Are the Church

They are.

Down through the ages, the people in Rome locked the cardinals into the place where they voted for a new pope because it had taken a few years.

They had influence.

A lot of it.

Including them to solve issues in the Church is valuable help.

But, will they be invited more into the life of the Church as Vatican II proposed?

I don't know.

I hope so.

The people are the Church while the institutional leader's of it are part of it also.

More input from God's people will make a better Church, I think.

What's the fear?

Why not?

Let the people help us be a better Church.
