Religion

Today for my religion I learnt about the four marks of the Church, the four marks are that the Curch is one. Which means we are united in the way that our liturgy is essentially the same everywhere you go. The Church is also Holy, it is holy because it was started by Christ who is the source of all grace, it is also holy in it's purpose which is the salvation and sanctification of all it's members. The third mark of the Church is that it is catholic which means that the Church is universal, it is for every human being no matter what their station. The Church is also universal in it's teachings, as it possesses the fullness of God's truth. The fourth and final mark of the Church is that it is apostolic, meaning that the curch originated with the Apostles, as Christ chose the twelve Apostles to be the foundation of his Church. So, in other words, the mark of Apostolicity is made clear by the fact that the authority of the ?church can vbe traced back to the twelve apostles
