Four Marks

There are four marks of the church: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. First I want to talk about how the church is one. The church is one because its unique, singular, and there is only one God. There is nothing in the world like the church that we catholics have. Second, the church is Holy. The church is Holy because it was established by Christ, Christ is God and God is the most Holy of all things. Third, the Church is Catholic, meaning universal. The church is catholic/universal because it is all around the world. The faith has been spread to the ends of the earth dating back to the apostles. Lastly, the church is apostolic. It is apostolic because it was founded on the apostles with St. Peter as its rock. These four marks define the church. There is no other religion in the world that has these four marks.
