Answer 1

Catholic AnswerThe four marks of the church, enumerated in the Nicene Creed, which is recited at Mass every week, are: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. Several popes, including Pope St. Pius X, who reported, when asking a group of seminarians about the marks of the Church; when they recited the traditional four, he told them that they had forgotten one: persecution. A holy priest mentioned six marks of the Church, which would include hatred (persecution) from John 15:18-20, Matthew 10:22-24, and Luke 6:26; and perduring (which means to permanently endure or "the preservation of a created being in its nature and existence by the continued exercise of God's sustaining power") from Matthew 16:18.

Marks of the Church. The four essential notes that characterize the Church of Christ, first fully enumerated in the Nicene-Constantinople Creed; one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic. Since the Eastern Schism and the protestant revolt they have become means of identifying the true Church among the rival claimants in Christianity. Some writers add other notes besides the traditional four, e.g., St. Robert Bellarmine with a total of fifteen, including the mark of persecution.
