The Catholic Church is the "New Eve." The Catholic Church like the first Eve came forth from the "New Adam" or the "Second Adam." When the centurion pierced the side of Christ, the New Adam, blood and water flowed out. The Catholic Church was constituted and created in and through the blood of Christ. The first Eve was created from the side of Adam by a rib, the Second Eve was created from the side of the Second Adam by blood, baptized in water.

The Catholic Church was Confirmed in the Spirit, the work of re-creation complete on the day of Pentecost when God sent the Spirit upon the Church.

In summary: the Catholic Church was created from the Cross, or the Sacrifice of Christ, and this work of creation brought to a completion on the day of Pentecost with the sending of the Spirit.
