The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven is a mystery for the Aquinas Institute of Theology.The USCCB video Reflection for today does not associate it with Jesus and the Catholic Church.
Ann Garrido,DMin., goes off into an abstratc tangent but a politically safe one.
She is careful to contradict Dominus Iesus which says that the Kingdom of God must not be separated from Jesus and neither from the Catholic Church. She does just this.She separates the Kingdom from the Catholic Church. She is following the USCCB's public policy of dissent.
The USCCB does not affirm the Social Reign of Jesus over all political laws since this is part of a public agreement with Jewish Left rabbis. They also do not affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus as part of that same understanding. So they feel obliged to state that there is known salvation outside the Church i.e LG 16,NA 2 etc refer to the deceased saved, who are now visible exceptions on earth, to all needing saving-faith and baptism.Visible in the flesh deceased!
This expedience is manifested today in Ann Garrido 's spirited talk sans Catholic doctrine.
For months together no one has said in these reflections on the USCCB video that the Catholic Church is necessary for salvation.This is having good relations with the American rabbis and living comfortably.-Lionel Andrades

Reading 1 jer 15:10, 16-21
Woe to me, mother, that you gave me birth!
a man of strife and contention to all the land!
I neither borrow nor lend,
yet all curse me.
When I found your words, I devoured them;
they became my joy and the happiness of my heart,
Because I bore your name,
O LORD, God of hosts.
I did not sit celebrating
in the circle of merrymakers;
Under the weight of your hand I sat alone
because you filled me with indignation.
Why is my pain continuous,
my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
You have indeed become for me a treacherous brook,
whose waters do not abide!
Thus the LORD answered me:
If you repent, so that I restore you,
in my presence you shall stand;
If you bring forth the precious without the vile,
you shall be my mouthpiece.
Then it shall be they who turn to you,
and you shall not turn to them;
And I will make you toward this people
a solid wall of brass.
Though they fight against you,
they shall not prevail,
For I am with you,
to deliver and rescue you, says the LORD.
I will free you from the hand of the wicked,
and rescue you from the grasp of the violent.

Gospel mt 13:44-46
Jesus said to his disciples:
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,
which a person finds and hides again,
and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant
searching for fine pearls.
When he finds a pearl of great price,
he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”
