Political institutions are the works of men. The church is first and foremost the work of Christ Himself, through the Spirit. It is formed up first and foremost socially, by a Lord, by a Father, by a Priest, and by a Brother. It is a polis, a family, an ethnos. Indeed, it is ultimately the polis, the family, the ethnos.11 It does not seek power to build worlds because it ultimately is the power that builds its World.
