The answer
The mission of the Church is purely spiritual, completely separate from the politics of the world. The spiritual mission entails the following:
- ❖ Prayer and teaching.
- ❖ The practice of the Mysteries, as means of Grace.
- ❖ The authority to loose and bind sins.
- ❖ The spreading of peace, and the ministry of reconciliation.
- ❖ The witnessing to Christ in all places and time.
- ❖ Spiritual care. Her aim is to prepare all those who believe for the Kingdom of Heaven, and Eternal Life.
