We don’t need institutional authority to share the teachings of the Church with people.

Remember what we read in the Book of Proverbs: Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9 We are called to stand up for all of those who are oppressed, which starts with talking about the issues!
