Meryl Viola Bravo, M.A. "The decisive element must be qualitative catholicity.  But this very quality does not allow for aquiescence in the status quo of a given circle; rather, it continually calls for the missionary dynamic of the leaven, which permeates the entire mass of dough---of the light, which shines for all upon the lampstand.  That is why the Church that wants to be Catholic must strive, on the basis of this interior catholicity, toward the ext
