Paragraph 4. CHRIST’S FAITHFUL – HIERARCHY, LAITY, CONSECRATED LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

That man is rightly called a
king who makes his own body an obedient subject and, by governing himself with
suitable rigor, refuses to let his passions breed rebellion in his soul, for he
exercises a kind of royal power over himself. and because he knows how to rule
his own person as king, so too does he sit as its judge. He will not let
himself be imprisoned by sin, or thrown headlong into wickedness.⁴⁴⁶
