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

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

857
The Church is apostolic because she is founded on the apostles, in three ways:
– she was and remains built on “the foundation of the
Apostles,”³⁶² The witnesses chosen and sent on mission by Christ
himself;³⁶³
– with the help of the Spirit dwelling in her, the Church keeps and hands on
the teaching,³⁶⁴ The “good deposit,” the salutary words she
has heard from the apostles;³⁶⁵
– she continues to be taught, sanctified, and guided by the apostles until
Christ’s return, through their successors in pastoral office: the college of
bishops, “assisted by priests, in union with the successor of Peter, the
Church’s supreme pastor”:³⁶⁶
