DECREE ON THE APOSTOLATE OF THE LAITY - 19

This article about lay organizations..."Catholic Action"...has a recurring theme in every section: co-operation with the hierarchy

In recent years "co-operation with the hierarchy" has increasingly come to mean "do what you're told by the hierarchy"

As in the case of Caritas International whose CEO, a lady, was prevented from having a second term of office...because she showed signs of independent thinking and action....and even criticized the Vatican

Jesus, please help Pope Francis remove all control freaks from the Vatican
