		The facts were: first, that due to secularization and anti-clericalism, priests and religious no longer had effective access to many areas of society in a number of countries, so that, second, if the Church was to be present there, lay people would have to do the job.
		The basic message is this: "The Christian vocation is, of its nature, a vocation to the apostolate" ["Apostolicam Actuositatem," No. 2].
		As "Apostolicam Actuositatem" puts it, lay people "ought to take on themselves as their distinctive task this renewal of the temporal order" [No. 7].

		A Christian “who does not work at the growth of the body (of Christ) to the extent of his possibilities must be considered useless both to the Church and to himself” (Vatican Council II, Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity, Apostolicam Actuositatem, 2).
		The apostolate specific to laypeople, which all of them can do, is in their own secular walks of life: job, family, social, or public activities.

		Each member of the Body of Christ is also a "light for all the nations," and deserves to be called such since "the laity derive the right and duty of the apostolate from their union with Christ the head.
		It must always be called to be more of an instrument leading to holiness in the Church, through fostering and promoting "a more intimate unity between the everyday life of its members and their faith" (See also Apostolicam Actuositatem, 19).
		These goals are "the evangelization and sanctification of humanity and the Christian formation of people’s conscience, so as to enable them to infuse the spirit of the Gospel into the various communities and spheres of life" (Apostolicam Actuositatem, 20).

		In Chapter 4 of this document and in its Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity, Apostolicam actuositatem the Council magnificently showed how the lay faithful are to fulfill their vocation to holiness.
		Rather, their apostolate, unique and utterly indispensable (see Lumen gentium, no. 31), is given them personally by Christ himself in and through their baptism and identity as God’s children who can, with Jesus, call God their "Father." The lay faithful carry on their apostolate both within the Church itself and in the world.
		Within the Church they do this in parishes, dioceses, and on the interdiocesan, national, and international levels (see Apostolicam actuositatem, no. 10), by engaging in catechetical instruction, liturgical worship (e.g., as lectors), and involvement in the pastoral structure of the Church (e.g., as canon lawyers), and so forth.

	Introduction
		Indeed, by the precept of charity, which is the Lord’s greatest commandment, all the faithful are impelled to promote the glory of God through the coming of his kingdom and to obtain eternal life for all men—that they may know the only true God and him whom he sent, Jesus Christ (cf.
		Priests therefore, as educators in the faith, must see to it either by themselves or through others that the faithful are led individually in the Holy Spirit to a development of their own vocation according to the Gospel, to a sincere and practical charity, and to that freedom with which Christ has made us free.
		The lay faithful should accustom themselves to working in the parish in close union with their priests, bringing to the Church community their own and the world’s problems as well as questions concerning human salvation—all of which need to be examined together and solved through general discussion.

	Aumann: Toward a Definition of 'Laity'
		Time and time again in the synod on the vocation and mission of the laity in the Church and in the world, attempts were made by various speakers to define the term "laity." As one would expect, the definitions or descriptions were as various as the speakers.
		Actually, most of the statements about the laity in the council documents and much of the talk about the laity in Synod '87 concentrated on what the laity do and not what the laity are.
		So much for the definition: A lay person in the Church is a baptized Christian who is deputed to renew the temporal and secular order according to Christian principles.

	Aumann: Toward a Definition of 'Laity'
		After all that was said about the laity in the documents of Vatican Council II -- Gaudium et Spes, Apostolicam Actuositatem, Ad Gentes, and especially Chapter IV of Lumen Gentium -- one would think that by this time everyone knew what is meant by "laity."
		So much for the definition: A lay person in the Church is a baptized Christian who is deputed to renew the temporal and secular order according to Christian principles.
		Canon 948 of the previous code stated: "By the institution of Christ, [holy] orders distinguishes clerics from laity in the Church for governing the faithful and for the ministry of divine worship." Basically the same idea was expressed in Apostolicam Actuositatem:

		The title of this article is drawn from a book written by a French Jesuit regarding Vatican II’s teaching about Laity: Paul Guilmot, Fin d’un Eglise Clericale?
		However, the promulgation of the specific laity decree Apostolicam Actuositatem by its very singularity begs a question as to why Laity were never expressly considered before 1962 by the Fathers of two Millennia of Councils?
		If the monk Walafrid Strabo wrote truthfully in 841 that, ‘Through the union of the two orders (clergy and laity) and their mutual love, a single house of God is built, a single body of Christ is realised’1, then we may see why an explicit theology of laity may have seemed superfluous.
