    The Catholic Church is apostolic in three ways: 1. In origin, as Christ established the Church on the foundation of the apostles and their successors, the bishops, continue to lead the Church in an unbroken line. 2. In teaching, as the Church teaches the same doctrines and in the same manner as the apostles through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 3. In government, as the leadership of the Pope and bishops can be traced back to the apostles through the succession of their office, ensuring the lawful succession of the Church.

    THIRD QUARTER/WEEK 7
    LESSON

    THE CHURCH IS
    APOSTOLIC
    SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES:

    At the end of the lesson, the


    learners are expected to
    1.Identify the biblical basis of the apostolic
    character of the Church.
    2. Explain the reasons how the Church is
    apostolic.
    3. Discuss what apostolic succession means.
    4. Appreciate the apostolic foundation of
    the Church.
    I. INTRODUCTION.
    A. The Catholic Church believes
    that Jesus Christ founded a
    visible Church and willed that all
    men should belong to the Church.

     “Whoever listens to you


    listens to Me. Whoever
    rejects you rejects Me. And
    whoever rejects Me rejects
    the One who sent Me.”
    Lk 10:16
    B. Jesus commanded the
    apostles to proclaim the
    Gospel to every creature.

    “whoever believes
    and is baptized will
    be saved; whoever
    doe not believe will
    be condemned”
    Mk 16:16
    C. The ministry of the apostles
    is the continuation of Jesus’
    mission.

    D. The Catholic Church never


    stopped to carry out this
    mission originally given to the
    apostles. The biblical
    passages only show that the
    Church is apostolic.
    II. PRESENTATION.
    The Catholic Church is apostolic because she is
    founded on the apostle in three (3) ways.

    origin.
     Christ built His Church on the foundation of the
    apostles (Eph 2:20).
     Jesus established His Church under
    the leadership of Peter.

     He even assured Peter and the


    apostles that He would be with
    them until the end of time.

     This implies that they will continue


    to rule the Church.
     The present leadership in the Catholic
    Church can be traced back to the first
    Christian leaders who were the apostles.

     The bishops are the legitimate


    successors of the apostles.

     The Catholic Church is the only


    Christian Church in the world
    that proclaims to be ruled by the
    successor of St. Peter.

     The apostles teach only what Christ had
    commanded them. (Mt 28:20)

    (SAME DOCTRINE)
     The Church teaches exactly how they had taught.
    (PREACHING)
     The Church guards and transmits the teaching of the
    apostles. (UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY
    SPIRIT)

     It is the most important element in the mark of
    apostolicity.
     We can trace the present leadership of the Catholic
    Church to the first Christian leaders, the apostles.
     The pastors of the Church, the Pope and the bishops,
    are connected with the apostles by the succession of
    office.
     The lawful succession happened continuously in history
    from the first Pope, Peter, and the apostles down to
    Pope Francis and the bishops.
     
    III.CONCLUSION.
    III. CONCLUSION.
    The entire Catholic Church is
    apostolic

     All of us as modern-day apostles are called to give
    witness to Christ
     By embodying
     And proclaiming His Gospel.
