 | | In Christianity, the doctrine of Apostolic Succession (or the belief that the Church is apostolic) maintains that the Christian Church today is the spiritual successor of the Church of the Apostles. | | | The Roman Catholic Church, comprising both the Western and the Eastern Rites (understood as a collection of particular churches), claims to be the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. | | | The Holy Spirit Within Christianity, the catholic doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a communion of three Persons: the Father, the Son (the eternal Logos, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. |

| | The Church is apostolic, because she professes the faith of the Apostles and attempts to live it. | | | He says: "The Church spread across the world diligently safeguards this doctrine and this faith, forming as it were one family: the same faith, with one mind and one heart, the same preaching, teaching and tradition as if she had but one mouth. | | | The Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is at the same time a grateful memorial of the great witnesses of Jesus Christ and a solemn confession for the Church: one, holy, catholic and apostolic. |

| | The Church is holy because God is holy, and because Christ and the Holy Spirit are holy. | | | The unity of the Church is the unity of the Blessed Trinity and of all of those who live with God: the holy angels, the righteous dead, and those who live upon the earth according to the commandments of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. | | | The members of the Church are holy to the extent that they live in communion with God. |

| | One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church |
| | The Church is holy because she is totally consecrated unto God in all that she does. | | | The Church is as convocation, assembly, or community of believers whom God gathers in the whole world, and who draws Her life from the Word and the Sacraments. | | | United with Christ, the Church is sanctified by Him, with Him, and in Him. |

| | It is false to distinguish the juridical Church from the Church of charity. | | | The nature of the Church and the relationship between Christ and the Church is a mystery of faith. | | | The unity of God's family, the unity of the Church, the oneness of the Church was restored supernaturally in Christ. |

| | ipedia.com: One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church Article |
| | The Holy See, the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and the Anglican Communion claim that the phrase explicitly refers to an unbroken and personal lineage from Christ and his disciples symbolized in the laying on of hands when a priest is ordained, or Apostolic Succession. | | | One Holy catholic and apostolic Church is a phrase that appears partly in the Apostles Creed ("the holy catholic church") and fully in the Nicene Creed and indicates the four marks of the Church - namely, unity, sanctity, catholicity and apostolicity. | | | Anglicans of the 'high church' or 'Anglo-Catholic' tradition define themselves as part of the 'Catholic Communion' associated with the apostolic succession, but not in submission to the Holy See or pope, and manifest beliefs and practices akin to Catholicism, involving the sacraments and a use of ritual in liturgy. |

| | Khomiakov: The Church is One |
| | The Church has faith, but it is a living faith; for she has also sanctity. | | | The Church and her members know, by the inward knowledge of faith, the unity and unchangeableness of her spirit, which is the spirit of God. | | | And the Church herself does not err, for she is the truth, she is incapable of cunning or cowardice, for she is holy. |

| | One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic |
| | The conclusion is inescapable: the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is easily discoverable as that group of Bishops who are in communion with the visible head of the Church, the Successor of Peter. | | | James Likoudis is President emeritus of Catholics United for the Faith and the author of "Ending the Byzantine Greek Schism" and "The Divine Primacy of the Bishop of Rome and Modern Eastern Orthodoxy". | | | Unlike Protestants, Eastern Orthodox writers agree (with Catholics) that the Church was indeed founded by Christ as one visible body, but, interestingly, claim the four marks of the Church for their own episcopal communion of 16 autocephalous and self-governing churches. |

| | CHURCH OF "The Lord's day (or Sunday to him) did not succeed in the place of the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was wholly abrogated, and the Lord's day was merely an ecclesiastical institution. | | | In other words, they insist that Sunday is the divinely appointed New Testament Sabbath, and so they endeavor to enforce the Sabbatical observance of Sunday...These churches err in their teaching, for Scripture has in no way ordained the first day of the week in place of the Sabbath. | | | But neither in the New Testament nor in the early church is there anything to suggest that we have any right to transfer the observance of the seventh day of the week to the first. |

| | He was convinced of the truth of Catholicity, as well as of his obligation to embrace it, before he had ever read a professedly Catholic book, or spoken to a priest. | | | He was a deep student of the early history of the Church and of the Fathers, and thus gradually began to feel the branch theory untenable. | | | He believed himself now a validly ordained priest of the English branch of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church, and served for some time at St. Luke's, Hudson Street, New York, hearing confessions and urging frequent Holy Communion. |
