1) Explain the one Church from various perspectives!

 - According to the origins, The Church believes that the unity of one God is
in three persons which are: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Church, according to the founder believes that Jesus became human
and brought everyone back to God, who also made all the people come
together as one nation and one body.

The Church, according to the soul believes that the Holy Spirit, who lives
in the hearts of people, fulfills and guides the Church to unite them all.
2) What does the unity of the Church mean according to the
Catechism of the Catholic Church?
- "Really secret miracle! One is the Father of all, also one is the Logos of all
things, and the Holy Spirit is one and the same everywhere, and also
there is only one Virgin Mother; I love him and named her the Church”
(Clement of Alexandria, passed. 1,6,42; CCC 813)
3) What ties exist in the unity of the Catholic Church?

passed down by the apostles. Sharing in worship and sacraments, along
with the continuation of apostolic leadership through ordination, confirms
our bond as a family in God.
4) What are some of the wounds of unity in the course of the Church's life?
- The wounds of unity have been shown and discovered ever since the early
stages which can be spotted as conflicts that can result in severe
punishment from the law.
