"You are to go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commended you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end."
- Matt.28:19-20
Mother and Teacher of all nations - such is the Catholic Church kin the mind of her Founder, Jesus Christ; to hold the world in an embrace of love, that men, in every age, should find in their own completeness in a higher order of living and their ultimate salvation.
- Pope John XXIII: "New Light On Social Problems" (Mater et Magistra)
Where the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church''
- Ignatius of Antioch, 1st c. A.D
