Lay people are all baptised Christians who have not received the sacrament of Holy Orders and who do not belong to a religious organisation approved by the Church. Lay people have dignity because they are part of the people of God with equal rights and dignity before God and the Church. The laity must be able to cooperate with the Leader and accept and respect the hierarchy. Catechesis on the communion of the baptised, with Fr Rafidison Abdon.

The role of the laity in the Church and in the world is very great. They must therefore be able to communicate well with the leaders, especially in terms of cooperation. The beneficence of the Church is a great work, so the leader and the Christians he or she brings along must help each other. The laity can freely express their opinion for the betterment of the Church. Catechesis on the communion of the baptized, with Fr Rafidison Abdon.

Men participate as prophets and witnesses of Christ and receive help and grace to proclaim the Gospel among family members and neighbours. Men also share in the dignity of being a king. Man is the king of nature. Catechesis on the communion of the baptised, with Fr Rafidison Abdon.

The successors of the Apostles, i.e. the Bishops, are accepted by Jesus Christ as shepherds in His Church which is His Holy Body until the end of the world. This is why the Church is so strict that she will be very careful in choosing a bishop who will take care of the faithful.  Catechesis on the Church', with Fr.Rafidison Abdon
