DAY 24: Church Heirarchy

     Some non- Catholics claim that since the Catholic faith has a heirarchy, it is a monarchy.Since a monarchy is supreme power held by a single person,  I suppose that, in some sense, it is, because we rely on the power of one God. ( Yes, I said God, not the Pope. Remember, the Pope is acting under God's commandments.) Would you call our God- the God all Christians share, the God of Jacob, Abraham and our Lord Jesus Christ- a Monarch? or would you call Him a loving, caring, and living God? But now that I've exhausted that tangent, I should get back to what I was saying. Church Heirarchy. It is very patriarchal- that is constant with its foundations in the Jewish faith. Below is a pyramid displaying the order of power in the church. (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0922582.html)

Any questions or suggestions? Please comment, and God Bless! I also have a prayer request for a family friend who has cancer. If you could all pray.... Thanks.
