Dealing with the Church as the Body of Christ and the People of God, this is the seventeenth in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church.
The Bible is a record of God in search of man. God created man to have someone to whom He can show His love. Our Lord founded the Church, sustaining the relationship to the people of God in the Old Testament. The Church can be understood as the body of Christ. The Apostles were the nucleus of this body, which has grown and spread throughout the entire world. They were formed by Christ sending His Spirit into them.
