  • THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH
    Baltimore Catechism 

    What is the Church? 

    The Church is the congregation of all baptized persons united in the same true faith, the same sacrifice, and the same sacraments, under the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff and the bishops in communion with him. 

    (a) Since Baptism, according to the ruling of Christ, is the gateway to the Church, a person becomes a member of the Church on receiving this sacrament. To remain a real member of the Church after Baptism a person must profess the one true faith and must not withdraw from the unity of the body of the Church in schism or heresy. 

    (b) Sacred Scripture refers to the Church as the Body of Christ, as a sheepfold, as the kingdom of God, and as the kingdom of heaven. 


    Who founded the Church? 

    Jesus Christ founded the Church. 

    Why did Jesus Christ found the Church? 

    Jesus Christ founded the Church to bring all men to eternal salvation. 

    How is the Church enabled to lead men to salvation?

    The Church is enabled to lead men to salvation by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who gives it life. 

    (a) Although the work of salvation is the result of the operation of all three Persons of the Blessed Trinity, it is especially the result of the Redemption by Christ, and because this work is one of divine love it is attributed to the Holy Spirit, who is the soul of the Church, of which Christ is the Head. 


    When was the dwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church first visibly manifested? 

    The dwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church was first visibly manifested on Pentecost Sunday, when He came down upon the apostles in the form of tongues of fire. 

    How long will the Holy Spirit dwell in the Church?

    The Holy Spirit will dwell in the Church until the end of time. 

    Who sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in the Church? 

    God the Father and God the Son sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in the Church. 

    What does the indwelling of the Holy Spirit ennoble the Church to do? 

    The  indwelling of the Holy Spirit enables the Church to teach to sanctify, and to rule the faithful in the name of Christ. 

    Who assist the bishops in the care of souls? 


    The priests, especially parish priests, assist the bishops in the care of souls. 
    The laity of the Church are all its members who do not belong to the clerical or to the religious state. 

    (a) The clerical state includes all priests and all aspirants to the priesthood who have 
    received tonsure, which is the initiation into the ecclesiastical state. Students of minor and major seminaries are aspirants to the priesthood.  Among the laity are secular persons who have embraced the state of celibacy or  virginity, or the matrimonial state. 

    How can the laity help the Church in her care of souls?

    The laity can help the Church in her care of souls by leading lives that will reflect credit on the Church, and by co-operating with their bishops and priests, especially through  Catholic Action. The lay people can assist in a special way by prayer.
