Whatever we say about the catholic church must have Jesus at its center. Apart from Jesus Christ, there is no catholic church, and there is only one catholic church, for there is only one Jesus Christ. Although we may muddle and contradict this fact, Jesus has His one church. The particular job the word
catholic has is to affirm that no kind of distance divides us. -- Dr. Norman Nagel,
Selected Sermons, p. 303
