The Catholic Church, the Body of Christ, was instituted by Christ and continues the work of saving souls 2000 years later. Started by Christ when He founded his Church on Peter to feed his sheep. Subsequent Bishops have all been commissioned to "feed my sheep". The Catholic Mass gives all a glimpse of Heaven when it re-presents Christ's suffering, death and Resurrection. We re-live this experience each Mass. Since Christ was the paschal lamb, we partake in the lamb and his blood. We share in His divinity. We are called to be light of the world and to bring the truth of the Gospels to all the world. Christ conquered death. He offered salvation to all people who wish to be reconciled to God. Reconciliation was finally possible through Christ. He paid the debt that we could never pay. Catholic faith continues to be the light of the world. Schools, hospitals, orphanages, nursing homes, soup kitchens, etc.
