It is most important that men and women nowadays be brought to realize these fundamental facts of history:
1. Jesus Christ actually founded a Church.
2. He conferred upon that Church the jurisdiction and the power to teach all mankind.
3. The Church which Christ founded and clothed with such power and authority is the Catholic Church.
From the above historical facts there follows with inexorable logic the simple conclusion: The Catholic Church is the one true Church established by the Jesus Christ, some have sought to escape from this conclusion by alleging that the Catholic Church in the course of ages ceased to teach the pure truths of Christ, introduced error, and therefore is not today to be regarded as the true Church.
