Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Eleventh Lesson: On The Church
Question: Who is the invisible head of the Church?
Answer: Jesus Christ is the invisible head of the Church

A Railway Inspector As Signalman: We ought not to make it impossible for non-Catholics to perform their religious duties. At one of the large railway depots in Germany several of the company’s servants, who were off duty, went into the town on the feast of Corpus Christi to take part in the procession. One of the points men, who also was a Catholic, was looking wistfully after his comrades as they left the terminus, when the inspector happened to pass by. “Perhaps you, too, would like to go to the procession?” He said to the man. “I should indeed, sir,” he replied, “if my work allowed of it.” “You may go,” the inspector rejoined; “I give you permission. You may have two hours’ leave of absence.” The man thanked the inspector, but drew his attention to the fact that a train was due in a few minutes’ time, and the signals must be changed. But his master bade him go, and remained himself at his post until the points were shifted; then he sent another man to take his place. One cannot do otherwise than esteem a man who showed such consideration for religious beliefs when he did not share them.

Question: Who is the visible head of the Church?
Answer: Our Holy Father the Pope, The Bishop of Rome, is the Vicar of Christ on earth and the visible head of the Church.

St. Pachomius: St. Pachomius was converted in a somewhat singular manner. While he was still a pagan and serving in the army, he was quartered in the house of a Christian family in Thebes in Egypt. He was treated with the greatest kindness, just as if he were a son, or at least a near relative, of the householder. The charity thus shown him made a deep impression on Pachomius, and involuntarily he learned to respect their religion. In consequence of this, he asked to be instructed in the Christian faith, and was presently baptized. He subsequently rendered great service to the cause of Christianity.

Question: Why is the Pope, the bishop of Rome, the visible head of the Church?
Answer: The Pope, the bishop of Rome, is the visible head of the Church because he is the successor of St. Peter whom Christ made the chief of the apostles and the visible head of the Church.

Mary, Queen of Scots: A contrast to the foregoing anecdotes is afforded by the conduct of Queen Elizabeth of England, the Protestant daughter of King Henry VIII (Who reigned from 1558 to 1603). This queen caused her relative, Mary Stuart, the Catholic queen of Scotland, who had pretensions to the throne of England, to be arrested, imprisoned during a long period, and finally condemned to death. When the sentence was read to Mary Stuart, she showed no signs of agitation; she merely requested that her confessor, who was also a prisoner, might be permitted to come to her for a few minutes. Yet this privilege, which is granted to the greatest criminal, Elizabeth, out of religious hatred, denied to the sorely tried queen. Nay, more; she actually sent a Protestant minister, himself an apostate priest, to endeavor to induce her to abjure the Catholic faith. But Mary indignantly repulsed the overtures of this traitor, and went to execution with perfect fortitude.
