“Inclusion” and Catholicism
George Weigel
Syndicated Column

Back in the day, kiddie Catholics learned that the Church had four “marks”: The Church is one, holy, catholic (as in “universal”), and apostolic. These marks derived from the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, which we recite at Mass on Sundays and liturgical solemnities. The Catechism of the Catholic Church ([link removed]) teaches that the Church “does not possess” these “inseparably linked” characteristics “of herself”; rather, “it is Christ who, through the Holy Spirit, makes his Church one, holy, catholic, and apostolic, and it is he who calls her to realize each of these qualities” (CCC 811).

You will note that “inclusive” is not one of the marks of the Church given by Christ, although “universal” is. Distinctions, as ever, are important.
