“7 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH” (Continued from last week)
4 - The Incarnation changes everything. An all-powerful, eternal, all-knowing, divine being decided to create the universe and then he
becomes one of the creatures he created. This is mind-numbing. Furthermore, in humbling himself to take on our flesh, he raises
up our nature to a greater dignity - one that now shares in his own nature. We share in God's nature. This is flabbergasting. The
world is never the same and all of creation and time revolves around this one moment - when God becomes one of us. Our
response should be to see God in all of his creation, but most importantly in all of humanity, including ourselves.
5 - The Church is beautiful. Because of the first three truths above, we can now see the beauty of the Church. Is the Church full of
sinners? Certainly. But, we sinners are not the source of the Church's beauty, God is. We are called to reflect this beauty as best we
can, but true beauty is found in the being of God, who is beauty itself. The Church reflects Christ beauty to the world. Through the
Saints' lives, the Cathedrals and artwork, through the music and songs, and through the teachings of the Church. It is in these ways
we see God's beauty rise up for a world that focuses all too often on what is ugly.
6 - Catholicism contains the most balanced teaching you will find. Catholicism holds a lot of seeming tensions in balance. They include;
1 God and 3 persons, Scripture and Tradition, Faith and Works, Jesus is human and divine, the Church is both holy and imperfect,
we can know God through both faith and reason, we are a people of both prayer and action, and the Bible is written by
man and inspired by God. We are a people of both/and, not either/or. While it may seem there are contradictions, there are not.
But, there is mystery behind the balance.
7 - The world needs the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has the answer for all the world's problems in the fullness of truth and
the fullness of grace she offers to the world. The Church gives us a moral anchor, an answer to broken families, addiction, sin, war,
violence, abuse, and all the other issues in our culture. More than ever the world needs the Catholic Church, if our society is to last.
This answer is the personal relationship with Jesus that the Catholic Church offers to us all through the Sacramental grace,
teachings of the Church, and in our own personal prayer we all need.

man and inspired by God. We are a people of both/and, not either/or. While it may seem there are contradictions, there are not.
But, there is mystery behind the balance.
7 - The world needs the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has the answer for all the world's problems in the fullness of truth and
the fullness of grace she offers to the world. The Church gives us a moral anchor, an answer to broken families, addiction, sin, war,
violence, abuse, and all the other issues in our culture. More than ever the world needs the Catholic Church, if our society is to last.
This answer is the personal relationship with Jesus that the Catholic Church offers to us all through the Sacramental grace,
teachings of the Church, and in our own personal prayer we all need.
