1. Sketch the image of the Church as a hierarchical society.

2. Reflect on this: Is there a need of hierarchy in the Church? Why or why not? Defend your answer.

The Catholic Church has a hierarchy, just as any other structured environment. Having a hierarchy helps
the Church lead the faithful at local and increasingly higher levels. Without it, there would be no
organized institution, but only many people trying to live by the teachings of Jesus.
