The instrument with which the church hopes to conquer U.S. is Catholic Action. The present pope has defined Catholic Action as nothing else than the apostolate of the laity under the leadership of the bishops. Michael Williams in "The Catholic Church in Action," states that primarily, Catholic Action may be described as both the intensification and the more highly organized collective direction of the apostolic mission of the church to the world, built upon the participation of the laity in the apostolate of the hierarchy.
