I LOVE BEING CATHOLIC
"ONE" describes the unity of the body of Christ. Jesus prayed three times the same request—that we may "be one." He prays for Christians to have unity, saying this unity will provide the most compelling evidence to the world that he is the Savior of the world. (Jn. 17: 20-23).
Christ's Church is HOLY because it is Christ's Church. Christians understand the holiness of the universal Church to derive from Christ's holiness. (Matt. 16: 19).
The word "Catholic" means "universal", pronouncing the universality of Christ's church. It refers to the wholeness and totality of all true believers in Jesus as the Christ. The Church as the Body of Christ is not limited to a time, place, race or culture. (Matt. 28: 18-20)
The Catholic Church is the true church based on the Apostolic Succession of the priesthood. The Catholic Church further believes that the Catholic Pope derives his authority through a direct line of descendency from Peter the Apostle. ( Matt. 16: 18).
