The Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."Philip ran up and heard the Ethiopian eunuch reading Isaiah the prophet and said,
"Do you understand what you are reading?"
He replied, "How can I, unless someone instructs me?"
So he invited Philip to get in and sit with him.
(Acts 8:29-31)
At least two things are necessary for Catholicism to flourish: Authority and receptivity! Faithful bishops, priests and deacons who are responsive to God's Spirit, and lay men and women who are receptive to instruction.
Both are now under seige!
