Paragraph 3. THE CHURCH IS ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC
838
“The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are
honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its
entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of
Peter.”322 Those “who believe in Christ and have been
properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the
Catholic Church.”323 With the Orthodox Churches, this communion is
so profound “that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit
a common celebration of the Lord’s Eucharist.”324
