Who in the Catholic Church has the Authority to preach? Of course, there is the hierarchy, which was essentially mandated by Christ to preach the Gospel message in its *totality *to the whole world.
Then there are lay people. Can a layman or laywoman preach the Gospel? Do they have the authority to do so? Can they become missionaries? Or must they have permission from their bishop or local ordinary?
