September Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

September Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

We need to be constantly reminded that “the Church is not a man-made society of like-minded people who are trying to live Christian lives and to exert some kind of Christian influence upon the world. The Catholic Church is a community created and called by God.

Its task is evangelization and salvation: to be an instrument of God’s work in the world focused in the saving and liberating mission of Jesus Christ. It must, therefore, look to the Holy Spirit for the power to accomplish it.

The Catholic Church is the oldest and largest branch of Christianity, with roots in Rome and a history that goes back almost 2,000 years. It was the only Christian church for the first 1,000 years of Christianity, and all other Christian churches today can trace their lineage back to it. 

The Catholic Church is led by the pope, who is also the Bishop of Rome, and rules from Vatican City, a separate country within Rome, Italy.
