Plaster, correctly applied, creates conditions for the catholicity (healing) of the organism. These conditions are mechanical, external, canonical, legalistic, disciplinary! But under the plaster—mechanical unity, achieved by joint living according to the flesh (coordinated by the plaster-hierarchy): joint activities, duties towards each other, caring, mutual assistance, mutual mercy… and most importantly—joint meals and total catechesis and repentance (primarily a radical change of mind-worldview: from selfish to catholic, hypostatic) of each member of the parish (which becomes a parish) based on this catechesis. And organic healing (in the Holy Spirit), processes of acquiring catholicity, integrity of each hypostasis occur in the Sacrament of Eucharistic life of all members of the community, where the Eucharist (Christ, who has Risen from the dead, the Holy Spirit) is the essence and goal (aspiration) of each member of the parish. The whole organic life of the community is the Eucharist; some already partake, while others prepare for the Eucharist, the Kingdom of God, the Catholic Divine-Human Nature of the Church, the people of God!
Therefore, for the two parts of the bone that have split to grow together, plaster (a splint) is needed, which will initially hold them together mechanically, and with proper, organic (Eucharistic) actions of the organism-body, in which healing-growth occurs (through the cooperation of each member of the body, and primarily members of the immediate healing-growth process, according to the laws of spiritual, Eucharistic life of the Body), these bones (tissues, etc.) will grow together over time, and there will be no need for plaster (commandments, canons, rules, policemen-supervisors, elders ensuring mechanical unity and coexistence among people), and the bones that have healed (grown together) will hold each other with mutual love, mutual communion of the Body (integrity), perichoresis will occur, mutual penetration of life: I in You, and You in Me! But restoring lost integrity without plaster is impossible! (Exceptions we know from Church history only confirm the rule!). If two people hate each other, how will catholic relations arise between them if they are not helped by plaster (catechesis, law, rules, commandments…). Therefore, the task of the hierarchy is to be plaster on the body of the church (plaster is not applied to a healthy body! And since plaster is applied, it indicates that something is wrong (abnormal) with the Body, and if it is applied to the whole body, it indicates a catastrophe!!!). Plaster on a broken body is normal, salvific (leads to healing). But since the body of the church is falling apart under the pressure of diseases-viruses-blows of heresies, schisms… the ‘incurable’ disease-heresy of secularism, therefore plaster (the hierarchy of stewards-mechanics) is obligatory until the end of the second form of existence! It (plaster-hierarchy) cannot be removed under any conditions and circumstances!!! The plaster must be on the body as long as there is still life in the body—there is still a process of healing, growth of organs in the (c)body, catholicity! We only need to understand (in the context of repentance) that plaster is obligatory, without it in any way, but it, firstly, indicates a catastrophe, deformity, abnormality of the body, not health and flowering of strength; secondly, the task of this plaster, which the Lord has placed on the body, is to create mechanical (disciplinary, legal, canonical, law-abiding) conditions of unity (catholicity), under which the miracle of organic healing, catholicity will occur in the Eucharist-parish—the body will heal, that is, all organs (members of the Church, the people of God) will begin to acquire catholicity, the organs will no longer need plaster, splints, threads to be one, but will hold each other from within by the Holy Spirit with Divine Eucharistic Love (‘Those who are in the Holy Spirit are not under the law, they do not need it’). Therefore, the hierarchy of stewards is not an ornament and praise, but a medical mechanical tool that must be used correctly! And for this, it is necessary to know what it is: the ministry of a bishop, presbyter, how it originated and why it is in the church, what its tasks and responsibilities are—this must be known primarily by the faithful, the people of God who choose and appoint the stewards-plasters and the stewards-plasters themselves (because each of them also needs to become an organic member of the body-parish in which he serves as a guarantor of mechanical catholicity). The faithful must know the essence of this ministry of a steward-bishop-presbyter—because the steward-plaster must be obeyed (so people need to think carefully about whom they choose, who will be their supervisor-policeman, before they appoint a priest to the ministry (ordain), having previously chosen a candidate for the priesthood!), to be within the framework of discipline, in creative, prudent obedience (to the limit beyond which heresy begins—anti-church, anti-Christian life, which is presented as the purest Orthodoxy). Stewards must also know the truth about their mechanical ministry as plaster and strive to become one of the parishioners, not always remaining a policeman, ruler! If the stewards and the people of God (all) know the truth about the hierarchy and the essence of this ministry in the church, then everything will function well, and the body will heal!
