Catholic churches almost never use the label "Church of Christ," even though that is what they are. They avoid using this term only so as to avoid being confused with other denominations and communities of that or similar name already in existence, such as Churches of Christ; Independent Churches of Christ; International Churches of Christ; United Churches of Christ; United Churches of Christ, Congregational; Churches of Christ, Scientist; and Church of Christ, Instrumental. Catholic churces almost always have the word Catholic in their name.
The four marks of the catholic church are One Holy Catholic Apostolic
It means that the 4 marks of the Church as spelled out in the Nicene Creed - One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic - are found only in the Catholic Church. Other sects may have one, two or three of these marks but only the Catholic Church possesses all four.
The four marks of the Church are: unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity. These four esstential characteristics, proper to the Catholic Church alone, visibly manifest to the world that she is the true Church of Christ. They are listed in the Creed as "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church".from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957
The characteristics that identify the Church are called "marks". There are four of them. These are characteristics/marks are that the true Church is: * One * Holy * Catholic * Apostolic
One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
The four marks of the Church are One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. They all of them pertain to unity of faith.
Are you referring to the four marks of the Church as spelled out in the Nicene Creed? If so they are One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
The word "catholic" refers to the Church's universality. "Catholic" is an adjective that can be defined as "including or concerning all humankind; universal" The four marks of the Church are that it is One, Holy, Apostolic and Catholic, and all four of these marks can also be used as attributes to support It's universality.
Aberdeen, New South Wales has two churches: St Thomas Catholic Church and St Marks Anglican Church.
The True Faith has to have four marks; One, Holy, Catholic or Universal, and Apostolic. The Catholic Church has these four marks. One meaning: one Church, united in Faith and Worship, and is in succession from the Apostles themselves.Holy meaning: The Church is perfect, flawless, and is the spotless Bride of Christ. Even though the Catholic Church is made up of sinners, the Church itself is Holy. Catholic or Universal meaning: The Church can be found everywhere. In Rome, a suburban Parish, in the Amazon Jungle, yet they are all completely united under Christ. Apostolic meaning: You can trace back her descent all the way back to the first Apostles. The Catholic Church validly claims succession from the Apostles themselves.Also, the Catholic Church was not made by man, but by Christ Himself. Other Churches, the Anglican was founded by King Henry VIII, and the Lutheran Church was founded by Martin Luther. Man is not perfect, so why would one want to follow a Church made by a man. One would rather follow a Church that Jesus Christ Himself made, I would think..Catholic AnswerOf course, and the answer above explains the marks of the true Church, which are recited in the Creed each week, very well. Catholicism is the only faith (after Judaism, of which it is a fulfillment and a continuation) which was instituted by God, Himself. Established by His Son coming to earth, teaching, and then dying on the Cross and sending the Holy Spirit. Our Blessed Lord, through His Apostles, His Church, and His Scriptures, explained that the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is His Mystical Body, and His Bride, of which there can be only One. He has guaranteed it until the end of time, and made it the one way in which Salvation may be procured.
I believe you are asking about the four marks of the Church, not four ways the Church is "one." The four marks are: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. ("One" is one of the marks.)
That the Catholic Church is "universal" is one of the four "marks", or distinguishing qualities of the Church. Along with being universal, the Church is also one, holy, and apostolic. The Catechsim of the Catholic Church, in it's treatment on the four marks, says this about "Catholic": 830 The word "catholic" means "universal," in the sense of "according to the totality" or "in keeping with the whole." The Church is catholic in a double sense: First, the Church is catholic because Christ is present in her. "Where there is Christ Jesus, there is the Catholic Church."307 In her subsists the fullness of Christ's body united with its head; this implies that she receives from him "the fullness of the means of salvation"308 which he has willed: correct and complete confession of faith, full sacramental life, and ordained ministry in apostolic succession. The Church was, in this fundamental sense, catholic on the day of Pentecost309 and will always be so until the day of the Parousia.831 Secondly, the Church is catholic because she has been sent out by Christ on a mission to the whole of the human race:310 : All men are called to belong to the new People of God. This People, therefore, while remaining one and only one, is to be spread throughout the whole world and to all ages in order that the design of God's will may be fulfilled: he made human nature one in the beginning and has decreed that all his children who were scattered should be finally gathered together as one. . . . The character of universality which adorns the People of God is a gift from the Lord himself whereby the Catholic Church ceaselessly and efficaciously seeks for the return of all humanity and all its goods, under Christ the Head in the unity of his Spirit.311
