O Lord our God , you answered them.
For them you were a God who forgives ;
yet you punished all their offenses.
Exalt the Lord our God ;
bow down before his holy mountian
for the Lord our God is holy.

Establishment of the Catholic Church ,
"And I say to you , you are Peter , and upon this rock I shall build my church , and the gates of the Netherworld shall not prevail agianst it." Mt. 16:18
In the fourth and fifth Chapters, Dominus Jesus notes that the salvation promised by Jesus Christ comes through the Catholic Church, his 'bride' and Mystical Body. The Catholic Church - defined as the Church that has maintained apostolic succession - is the one true Church.
While the document acknowledges that some Orthodox churches, which have maintained apostolic succession, although they do not accept the primacy of Peter, represent the true Church, other Christian bodies do not enjoy the same status. Through Baptism, it says, the members of these Christian ecclesial bodies are 'incorporated in Christ' and maintain 'a certain communion, albeit imperfect,' with the Church."
The four marks of the Catholic Church are One , Holy , Catholic and Apostolic.

Christian witness amidst 20th century suffering
Some people's lives seem to epitomise the suffering of millions, but also to shine with a Christian response to it. One such person was Maximilian Kolbe, 1894 - 1941, a Franciscan priest of Poland, and publisher extraordinary.
Maximilian was born at Zdunska Wola, near Lodz, where his parents, devout Christians, worked in a cottage weaving industry. Like thousands of others at the time, the family and their village was ground into poverty by Russian exploitation. In 1910 Maximilian entered the Franciscan Order, and studied at Rome. After his ordination in 1919, Maximilian returned to Poland, where he was sent to teach church history in a seminary. But a new factor had entered his life: he diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Living in post-war Poland was difficult enough, but with tuberculosis as well - most people would have quietly withered away. Not Maximilian Kolbe. Instead, the tuberculosis gave Maximilian a sense of urgency - a sense of the brief transitoriness of this life. He knew his time was slipping away. Instead of teaching history, he determined to do something to help the Christians living in Poland now, in the tatters of Europe after the First World War. And so he founded a magazine for Christian readers in Cracow, who badly needed effective apologetics to help them hold to their faith in a chaotic world.
Soon, the obsolete printing presses (which were operated by Maximilian's fellow priests and lay brothers) were working overtime - the magazine's circulation had leapt to 45,000. Then the printing presses were moved to a town near Warsaw, Niepokalanow, where Maximilian now founded a Franciscan community which combined prayer w"
