77 “In order that the full and living Gospel might always be preserved in the Church the apostles left bishops as their successors. They gave them their own position of teaching authority.” Indeed, “the apostolic preaching, which is expressed in a special way in the inspired books, was to be preserved in a continuous line of succession until the end of time.”

Unfortunately in my country we found so many priests are very busy with so many other things. They just teach with only preaching in eucharist and do not talk about the Word but more self reverent . minimalist and forget the homily for the glory of our Lord. The competency or just the weaknesses of spirituality?
