This is covered in paragraphs 823-829 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Because Christ, the Son of God, who with the Father and the Spirit is hailed as 'alone holy,' loved the Church as His Bride, giving Himself up for her so as to santify her; He joined her to Himself as His Body and endowed her with the gift of the Holy Spirit for the flory of God." (Lumen Gentium 39; cf. Eph 5:25-26). See link below for a more complete explanation.

Why is the Christian Church described as apostolic?

Christian churches cannot be called apostolic as there is only one Church, the Catholic Church, that is truly apostolic. There are some churches that put the term apostolic in their name; however, this is a misnomer as they cannot exhibit a line of succession from the apostles to the present. If by the Christian Church you mean the Catholic Church then the answer is obvious, every Bishop, priest, and deacon has been ordained in the apostolic succession. The four marks of Christ's Church are that it is "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic":' the Catholic meaning that it is universal, and the Apostolic meaning that all its leaders are ordain by men who were ordained by the Apostles. "Christian" Churches, as in protestant churches are only apostolic in their dreams.
