[[Authority]] in the Church, or '''ecclesiastical''' authority, will verify, though in its own way, the [[concept]] already developed in the general treatment of the term authority. If the Church is a true [[society]] of [[human being]]s, a group seeking a common end through concerted [[action]], it is [[inevitable]] that there is need of [[control]], some power to [[determine]] ways and means, to allot [[functions]], to re-dress grievances—in a [[word]], to protect against the centrifugal [[tendencies]] that jeopardize communal [[action]]. Men in the [[supernatural]] order still display the [[diversity]] of viewpoint that makes [[authority]] [[necessary]] wherever life is to be lived within [[community]] [[structures]].[http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?&id=GALE%7CCX3407700958&v=2.1&u=tel_a_uots&it=r&p=GVRL&sw=w]
