- The authority of the Church as a basis for making moral decisions
- The church is the body of Christ so it is how Jesus works in the world.
- If the church is the body of Christ it should have the same authority as Jesus
- God didn't stop talking to people once the Bible was finished. He does it today through the Church.
- The Church community needs to be guided by God to help them make the correct moral decision
- If each Christian had to make a moral decision on their own, there might be lots of different opinions
- Some Christians may not know what the best decision to make was, but if guided by the Church they could be sure that they were doing the right thing.
- Christians expect the Church to give them guidance
- Catholics believe the authority of the Church comes from the magisterium.
- The Pope and Bishops interpret the Bible and Catholic traditiion for today
- They believe this gives them infallible guidance on moral behaviour so whatever the Pope says is correct
- The church is the body of Christ so it is how Jesus works in the world.
