V. Who Can Confer This Sacrament?
1575
Christ himself chose the apostles and gave them a share in his mission and
authority. Raised to the Father’s right hand, he has not forsaken his flock but
he keeps it under his constant protection through the apostles, and guides it
still through these same pastors who continue his work today.61 Thus,
it is Christ whose gift it is that some be apostles, others pastors. He
continues to act through the bishops.62
