Paragraph 1. THE CHURCH IN GOD’S PLAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

752
In Christian usage, the word “church” designates the liturgical
assembly,¹⁴¹ but also the local community¹⁴² or the whole
universal community of believers.¹⁴³ These three meanings are
inseparable. “The Church” is the People that God gathers in the whole
world. She exists in local communities and is made real as a liturgical, above
all a Eucharistic, assembly. She draws her life from the word and the Body of
Christ and so herself becomes Christ’s Body.
