Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Eleventh Lesson: On The Church
Question: Which are the means instituted by Our Lord to enable men at all times to share in the fruits of the Redemption?
Answer: The means instituted by Our Lord to enable men at all times to share in the fruits of His Redemption are the Church and the Sacraments.

The Catholic Church: St. Augustine, writing against the Manichean sect to which he had in his youth belonged, says that what most appealed to him and most strongly led him to the true Church was the name “Catholic,” which no sect has ever been able to appropriate. “For,” says he, “though all lay claim to the title of Catholic, yet not one among them is called by that name, nor is there a heretic, who, if you met him in the street and asked him: ‘Where is the Catholic Church?’ Would dare to direct you to his own schismatical assembly.” These words are as true of the world today as they were when they were penned by the saintly Bishop of Hippo. The word “Catholic” means world-wide, and hence no sect or national establishment can consistently claim such a title.

Question: What is the Church?
Answer: The Church is the congregation of all those who profess the faith of Christ, partake of the same Sacraments, and are governed by their lawful pastors under one visible head.

The Charitable Hermit: We ought to exercise charity to those also who are non-Catholics, for though they are in error, they still are our brethren. In the desert of Thebaid, where many anchorites who held the true faith had taken up their abode, there was one hermit who held the heretical tenets of the Manichees. This man when on a journey lost his way in the desert and got benighted. Darkness had already closed in when he came upon the hut of another hermit; the wanderer paused at the door, not knowing how he would be received if he entered, for he knew the inmate to be a staunch Catholic. However, fear of the wild beasts that he heard roaring in the distance prevented him from venturing any farther; he determined to ask for a night’s shelter. On entering the hut he said to the hermit: “I am not an orthodox Catholic, yet I must beg you to take me in for the night.” The hermit bade him welcome, entertained him most hospitably, and gave him a comfortable bed. The stranger said to himself: “This man must be a true servant of God, for Christ Himself tells us that charity is the distinguishing mark of HIs disciples. I do not believe that a Manichee would have treated a Catholic so kindly.” Before long the Manichee abjured his heretical creed and became an orthodox Christian. Thus the hermit gained a soul by his charity. If he had behaved with discourtesy or shown the stranger scant hospitality, he would only have confirmed him in his erroneous tenets. Would not Our Lord say to each one of us: “Go and do thou in like manner?”
