VII. The Grace of Baptism
1269
Having become a member of the Church, the person baptized belongs no longer to
himself, but to him who died and rose for us.75 From now on, he is
called to be subject to others, to serve them in the communion of the Church,
and to “obey and submit” to the Church’s leaders,76 holding
them in respect and affection.77 Just as Baptism is the source of
responsibilities and duties, the baptized person also enjoys rights within the
Church: to receive the sacraments, to be nourished with the Word of God and to
be sustained by the other spiritual helps of the Church.78
