Paragraph 3. THE CHURCH IS ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, AND APOSTOLIC

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

827
“Christ, ‘holy, innocent, and undefiled,’ knew nothing of sin, but came
only to expiate the sins of the people. the Church, however, clasping sinners
to her bosom, at once holy and always in need of purification, follows
constantly the path of penance and renewal.”²⁹⁹ All members of the
Church, including her ministers, must acknowledge that they are
sinners.³⁰⁰ In everyone, the weeds of sin will still be mixed with the
good wheat of the Gospel until the end of time.³⁰¹ Hence the Church
gathers sinners already caught up in Christ’s salvation but still on the way to
holiness:
