Explanation:
The words one, holy, catholic and apostolic are often called the four marks of the Church.
One: the Church is one. This means that it is a single, united and global Church which has its basis in Christ Jesus.
Holy: the Church is holy, because it is the Body of Christ with Jesus as the head. This does not mean that all members of the Church are sin free. It means that the Church and her sacraments help to make the faithful holy.
Catholic: the word catholic literally means ‘universal.’ The role of the Church is to spread the Word of God universally across the world.
Apostolic: the origins and beliefs of the Church started out with the apostles at Pentecost.
