Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Twelfth Lesson: On The Attributes & Marks of the Church
Question: How is the Church Catholic or Universal?
Answer: The Church is Catholic or Universal because it subsists in all ages, teaches all nations, and maintains all truth.

The Ambassador’s Answer: Apropos of the Church’s subsistence in all ages, an excellent answer was made by a French ambassador, ill at Stockholm, in Protestant Sweden. Someone asked him whether, in case he died there, he would not be sorry to have his ashes mingle with those of heretics. “No,” he replied, “I would simply ask to have the earth dug a little deeper, and thus I should rest among your ancestors who were Catholics like myself.”

Question: How is the Church apostolic?
Answer: The Church is apostolic because it was founded by Christ on His apostles, and is governed by their lawful successors, and because it has never ceased, and never will cease, to teach their doctrine.

The Faith of Our Fathers: Count Stolberg, a Protestant writer of great merit, was received into the Catholic Church on Whitsunday, 1800 A.D. A Protestant friend remarked to him: “I do not like people who abandon the religion of their fathers.” Stolberg answered: “Neither do I. If my forefathers had not abandoned the faith of their fathers, I should not be compelled to return to the Catholic Church.” A Protestant lady said to a friend who had become a catholic: “I mean to live and die in the faith of my fathers.” The Catholic replied: “And I mean to die in the faith of my ancestors.”

Question: In which Church are these attributes and marks found?
Answer: These attributes and marks are found in the Holy Roman Catholic Church alone.

The Sagacious Poles: A Certain Russian general received from the Czar a grant of extensive ecclesiastical property in Poland, as the recompense of his exploits. When, a few days later, he had to take the field against the Turks, he thought he would do something to gain favor with the emperor. So he called together some of the principal tenants on his Polish estates — all poor men — and said to them: “Before I start on my journey I will give each of you a considerable piece of land, on this condition, that you adopt the Russian instead of the Catholic religion. Take time to reflect on this offer and tell me your decision.” After consulting together for a long time the poverty-stricken Poles returned to the general, and with a cheerful demeanor said to him: “May it please your Excellency, this is what we think about the matter: If, for instance, a man wanted to exchange his horse for one of ours, and offered to give us something into the bargain as well, we should know that his horse was not so good a one as ours. Consequently it follows of necessity that our faith must be worth more than the Russian, since your Excellency would give us a good piece of land if we would exchange our Catholic faith for the Russian religion.” “O you consummate scoundrels!” The general exclaimed, and depend upon it, he would assuredly have had them all thoroughly knouted, had they not forthwith taken to their heels and made off. Firmness in resisting temptation is highly to be commended.
