Indeed Christ, the Son of God, who with the Father and the Spirit is praised as "uniquely holy," (1*) loved the Church as His bride, delivering Himself up for her. The Church, whose mystery is being set forth by this Sacred Synod, is believed to be indefectibly holy. Among the principal duties of bishops the preaching of the Gospel occupies an eminent place. But the faithful, in virtue of their royal priesthood, join in the offering of the Eucharist. c. I Tim. Lumen Gentium, Dogmatic Constitution On the Church, 1964. 22, cap. (6*) Through Baptism we are formed in the likeness of Christ: "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body". 371: Mansi 3, 954. 2, 4: PG 62, 612: Saccrdos est symbolon . 3 et q. (2) Cfr.

When Jesus, who had suffered the death of the cross for mankind, had risen, He appeared as the one constituted as Lord, Christ and eternal Priest,(24) and He poured out on His disciples the Spirit promised by the Father. Moreover, within the Church particular Churches hold a rightful place; these Churches retain their own traditions, without in any way opposing the primacy of the Chair of Peter, which presides over the whole assembly of charity (11*) and protects legitimate differences, while at the same time assuring that such differences do not hinder unity but rather contribute toward it. 1:10; Col. 1:20; 2 Pt.3:10-13.

Finally all Christ's faithful, whatever be the conditions, duties and circumstances of their livesand indeed through all these, will daily increase in holiness, if they receive all things with faith from the hand of their heavenly Father and if they cooperate with the divine will.

This Church of Christ is truly present in all legitimate local congregations of the faithful which, united with their pastors, are themselves called churches in the New Testament. (277) For just as Christian communion among wayfarers brings us closer to Christ, so our companionship with the saints joins us to Christ, from Whom as from its Fountain and Head issues every grace and the very life of the people of God. When it is looked at in this way, she is already prophetically foreshadowed in the promise of victory over the serpent which was given to our first parents after their fall into sin.
