Nowiftheinstructions givenbytheBishopmerely Putbeforethepeoplewhat hadalreadybeeninfallibly definedbytheChurchin eitherofthesefields,his instructionswouldbeinfalliblyright,notbecauseof anyinfallibilityofhisown, butbecauseoftheinfallibilityoftheChurch.

R.:Astheonlyindividual BishopintheCatholic Churchwhoseofficehasattachedtoittheprerogative ofinfallibilityisthePope, PapalInfallibilityremains precisely-PapalInfallibility.

ThusChristsaidtothe ApostleswhomHeplaced inchargeofHisChurch, "Hewhohearsyou,hears Me,"and"Whatsoveryou bindonearthisboundin heaven."Thisauthorityof Christ is distributed throughouttheChurchtoall lawfulBishopswithinit,for particularandlocalChurchesare,ofcourse,partof theUniversalChurch.

Thus,whilstChrististhe SupremeShepherd,each Bishopis,inthenameof Christ,alsotheshepherdof theflockentrustedtohim. SoSt.Peterdeclaresthat theChiefShepherd,Christ, willrewardthefaithful episcopalshepherdwitha never-fadingcrownofglory. (IPet.5:1-3.)

Theepiscopalshepherd mustguidehisflock,defend it,andkeepitinunityof faithandactionaccording tosoundChristianprinciples.
