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

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

814
From the beginning, this one Church has been marked by a great diversity which
comes from both the variety of God’s gifts and the diversity of those who
receive them. Within the unity of the People of God, a multiplicity of peoples
and cultures is gathered together. Among the Church’s members, there are
different gifts, offices, conditions, and ways of life. “Holding a
rightful place in the communion of the Church there are also particular
Churches that retain their own traditions.”²⁶³ The great richness
of such diversity is not opposed to the Church’s unity. Yet sin and the burden
of its consequences constantly threaten the gift of unity. and so the Apostle
has to exhort Christians to “maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond
of peace.”²⁶⁴
