Description
Let us group everything round three big facts. The first is GOD, the second is Jesus CHRIST, and the third is the CHURCH.
As Christ, the Founder of the Catholic Church, is both divine and human — so also is the Church which He founded. The Catholic Church is divine in that her Founder is divine, and that she has His divine guarantee, and assistance to transmit to the end of time, without error the doctrine He imparted to her. She is human in that men, not angels, are her ministers and lay members. The doctrine of Catholic Church is divinely true; the preachers of her doctrine and the ministers of her sacraments and her members are all human with the weaknesses and passions of fallen human nature.
