The Church was not able to hold on to its first organizational structure in large degree because it didn’t have the instructional resources to manage a Church that size. But now we have the Bible, and twenty centuries of truly excellent reflection on it by some of the greatest minds in human history, all of it embedded in the Mass that is celebrated millions of times a day all over the world.

Well, here is what we can know: Scripture, Prayer, and Marriage (and many others) are signs in the Christian world. That means they contain what they signify, and since they are signs of heaven, that means they all contain bits of heaven. We don’t know how the Bible is in heaven, but we can know that heaven is in the Bible, and in Prayer, and in Marriage, and in many other things, especially the Mass.
