An Example That Obliterates Clericalism

Example of the Radical Nature of Baptism To Become Identified With Christ: 

Bergoglio: "When I think of it, I’m always surprised by that story of those Christian communities in Japan that were left without a priest for more than two hundred years. When the missionaries returned they found them all baptized, all married validly for the Church and all their dead had been buried in Christian fashion. Those laymen had received only baptism, and by virtue of their baptism they had also lived their apostolic mission."
