Hi everyone,
What do we mean when we say that we believe in "one holy, Catholic, apostolic Church"? The Church is not a club or a democracy, but a living organism, the mystical body of Christ.
Watch this short video to better understand what the Church is and what it is not. As you watch, reflect on how the Church is different from a purely human institution.

Questions:
- What is the basic job of the Church? Why is it here?
- How do we become part of the Church?
After watching, reply to share your thoughts, or ask any questions you have! We'd love to answer them!
Peace,
Camilla
P.S. I love the image that Bishop Barron mentions, the mosaic at San Clemente in Rome. Growing from the Christ's sacrifice on the cross are vines and branches symbolizing the Church which brings the life of Christ to our world today. It reminds me that the Church is always rooted in the cross of Christ, no matter what we face.
