"'...nothing without the bishop, nothing without the advice of the clergy, nothing without the consent of the ππππ πͺπ― (Synod on Synodality, Final Document #88)
This proverb is no different from the flow of oil from the head of the bishop, continuing through the hands of the clergy, and ending up on the heads of the faithful. Although the guidance comes from the bishop, he can do nothing without the hands of the clergy who will administer the sacraments, impart blessings, give direction, preside and lead so that the flock will not be separated and lost. But the clergy can also do nothing when the faithful do not believe in them. There is no trust. They do not obey, they oppose and clash."
