Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Church and the Gentile World at the First Promulgation of the Gospel, Vol. 1: Considerations on the Catholicity of the Church Soon After Her Birth As soon as God communicated to fallen man his decree of redemption, and promised that "the seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent," the Church was born, at least in design. Mankind was to be regenerated, born again; and those who should comply with the conditions of reconciliation would form a society united anew with the Creator. For as the former bonds of union had been broken up by disobedience, and God had been alienated from man by this first sin, it was necessary that, in order to recover what had been lost by this fatal separation, man, on his part, should henceforth obey, submit to the will of his Maker, bow to his authority, and thus deserve to be reconciled with him. In this simple process we have all the elements of a firm religious society. From that moment down to this there has always been a portion of mankind submissive to the divine laws, and on this account dear to God and worthy of his regard. For them the source of grace, gushing forth, even in anticipation, from the wounds of a dying Saviour, was to flow in rapid and constant streams, to wash, purify, refresh, and regenerate the sons of Adam, changed into sons of God. This is the great mystic body, whose head is Christ Jesus. As a body it must have unity. The essential and inward character of this is derived certainly from the Head, from the God-man: "In whom all the building being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord." But besides this essential characteristic of religious unity, there are among men exterior marks of it which must be attentively considered, because they can never be wanting even in the supposition of an imperfect Church, as was the case before Christ.
