Exactly. And this is why it is virtually impossible for such groups to even begin to fulfill the mission of the Church. They can impact the people around them (family, neighbors, friends) but again, the mission of the Church is much larger than this. To fulfill the mission we need direction, and to have direction we need leadership.
