Christ's Corporation?

Lighthouse Catholic Media store


I don't know how much sense this will make, but I liken the Catholic Church to a "corporation". The very first ever created. 

The word, "corporation" comes from the word "corpus" or "body". We are the Body of Christ. When Jesus established the Catholic Church, He started an "ongoing concern". He appointed a Chief Executive and a board of Directors. And He gave them a mission.

This Corporation then appointed directors and officers as "She" saw fit from then on. And continues to perform Her mission to this day.

Its just a metaphor. And metaphors don't fit all situations. But it seems easy to grasp and helps explain the governing of the Church.

Sincerely,

De Maria
