What is Exterior Catholicity?

Amidst all of the social inventions of manifesting an exterior commodity of meeting a standard of Catholicity, I never find the interior gaze of its exterior as people seek the quantitative factors on the "number of clicks" and the "number of likes and dislikes." The qualitative persuasive standard of the exterior delivers incompatible.

As the question poses, "What is Exterior Catholicity?" I stand as insignificant with what the exterior demands to be promoting the "Interior Catholicity."

"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 exterior catholicity of being the Church of all peoples and of all cultures" (Ratzinger, Joseph Cardinal, On the Way to Jesus Christ, pg 133, Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 2005).

Reading Patris Corde at the State University Library, Photo by Meryl Viola Bravo At a study of intellectual basis of authority comes the discipline of reading, writing and the right to be educated.

Thank you for the insight of the writings of Popes from the past and present to be studied at any public school system for research and analysis at the core of Humanity and World Religions.

The Public Conscience

Are there realities about a public consciousness in meeting an efficient grace of being well? What the law delivers establishes a common effort of meeting this wellness, wholeness and Eternal happiness. Do we have a public standard of ordered grace? Is it American? Meryl Viola Bravo "The spiritual awakening to the Christian faith became possible because there were men in Israel whose hearts were searching, who were not satisfied with the current customs and were watching for something greater: Mary, Elizabeth, the Twelve, and all the others who appear in the New Testament. The Gentile Church became possible because, both in the Mediterranean region and in those areas of the Near and Middle East that were reached by the missionaries, there were expectant people who did not content themselves with the status quo but who were looking for the star that would show them the way to the true Savior of the world.
