Paragraph 1. THE CHURCH IN GOD’S PLAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

771
“The one mediator, Christ, established and ever sustains here on earth his
holy Church, the community of faith, hope, and charity, as a visible
organization through which he communicates truth and grace to all
men.”¹⁸⁴ The Church is at the same time:
– a “society structured with hierarchical organs and the mystical body of
Christ;
– the visible society and the spiritual community;
– the earthly Church and the Church endowed with heavenly
riches.”¹⁸⁵
These dimensions together constitute “one complex reality which comes
together from a human and a divine element”:¹⁸⁶
