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."

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 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).
