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

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

pilgrimage, the Church has also experienced the “discrepancy existing
between the message she proclaims and the human weakness of those to whom the
Gospel has been entrusted.”³⁴⁸ Only by taking the “way of
penance and renewal,” the “narrow way of the cross,” can the
People of God extend Christ’s reign.³⁴⁹ For “just as Christ
carried out the work of redemption in poverty and oppression, so the Church is
called to follow the same path if she is to communicate the fruits of salvation
to men.”³⁵⁰
