CCC 750
Profession of Faith›SECTION TWO I. THE CREEDS›CHAPTER THREE I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT›Article 9 "I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH"
To believe that the Church is "holy" and "catholic," and that she is "one" and "apostolic" (as the Nicene Creed adds), is inseparable from belief in God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In the Apostles' Creed we profess "one Holy Church" (Credo . . . Ecclesiam), and not to believe in the Church, so as not to confuse God with his works and to attribute clearly to God's goodness all the gifts he has bestowed on his Church.
