forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all
nations.”⁵²⁴ The apostles and their successors carry out this
“ministry of reconciliation,” not only by announcing to men God’s

but also by communicating to them the forgiveness of sins in Baptism, and
reconciling them with God and with the Church through the power of the keys,
received from Christ:⁵²⁵
