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

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

845
To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed
to call the whole of humanity together into his Son’s Church. the Church is the
place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. the Church is
“the world reconciled.” She is that bark which “in the full sail
of the Lord’s cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this
world.” According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is
prefigured by Noah’s ark, which alone saves from the flood.³³⁴
