Some churches have gotten so far away from the biblical pattern that they view church discipline as an unloving, judgmental, and divisive practice. That couldn’t be further from the truth – there’s nothing more loving you can do for a fellow believer in sin than to call him or her back to repentance and purity. For the sake of the individual and the rest of the church, you want to see fallen church members restored to a right relationship with Christ.

TRIPLE CROWN

BASIC R.C. BELIEF In early days, the Pope wore a simple bishop’s mitre. About the 9th century, a crown was added to it; later, a second crown and about 1365, a third. Some take the triple crown to signify the pope’s supreme authority over every phase of life; others take it to symbolize his three fold office as teacher, lawgiver, judge.

POST VATICAN II In 1978, both John Paul I and John Paul II, for the first time in centuries, refused to receive the crown at their investiture as pope.
