THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

The Roman Catholic Church, instituted by Jesus Christ and entrusted to the apostles, stands as the one true Church through which the fullness of faith and salvation flows. For over two thousand years, it has carried the authority of Christ, safeguarded Sacred Scripture and Tradition, and has proclaimed the Gospel without compromise to every corner of the earth. Empires have risen and fallen, cultures have shifted, and ideologies have come and gone, yet the Church remains, anchored by rock and guided by the Holy Spirit. Its history is written in the blood of martyrs, the wisdom of saints, and the unwavering witness of believers who handed on the faith from generation to generation. To be united with the Catholic Church is to be united with Christ’s own body, the very family of God on earth, called to live in truth, holiness, and unshakable hope.
