May 14, 2017 Fifth Sunday of Easter
The Four Marks of the Church: Apostolic
What do we mean when we say that the Church is an Apostolic Church? It lies in at least two
ideas: 1) its structure and 2) its message, teaching and truth.
Structure:
First of all the church was founded on the Apostles, with Peter as the Rock (Matthew 16:18ff).
This means that the Church is a visible organization, not merely a spiritual organization of “all
believers”in the world. There are physical ties between individuals and the Apostles. This is
drawn out by the events in Acts Chapter 8 when Peter, James, and John went down to Samaria to see the people who
had been baptized in John the Baptist’s baptism but had accepted the gospel of Jesus as the Messiah. Peter, James
and John, noticing the lack of charismatic activity asked if they had received the Holy Spirit. Of this the Samaritans
were ignorant. So they laid hands on them for the reception of the Holy Spirit, and the Samaritans began to speak in
tongues. This is the first recorded confirmation in scripture tying the Samaritans with the Apostolic Church. No
Apostles— no Holy Spirit.
Second, after the establishment of the Church in Judea and Samaria (as ordered by Christ) the Apostles spread out
through the Roman Empire and beyond to preach the gospel and to found churches wherever they went. These
churches, begun by the Apostles were hence Apostolic Churches. The Overseers they selected and ordained were the
first Bishops— successors to the Apostles. Because of this, the Bishops were known to have a direct link to the
Apostles. Also, those who were selected in succession of these bishops were said to have a link to the Apostles and
records were kept in those churches (dioceses). This custom persists to this day.
Message, Teaching and Truth:
As for the message of salvation, the teaching of the church and her possession of the truth, the promise of the Lord
that the Paraclete (Holy Spirit) would come and lead the Apostles into all truth, has traditionally been understood as a
parallel to the imparting of the full knowledge of Torah to Moses on Sainai. This action of the Holy Spirit gave
infallible truth to the Twelve Apostles distributively for the good of the Church, which in turn was passed on to the
Bishops. Therefore, the fullness of the Truth of what Jesus taught, along with the fullness of Truth and understanding
was given charismatically to the Church at Pentecost in a seminal state that would be opened to the Church down
through the ages by the successors of the Apostles and confirmed by the Successor of Peter.
The Church’s Teaching, called the Magisterium and the Apostolic Tradition are both part of what we call “The
Deposit of the Faith”entrusted to the Apostles by Christ and His Holy Spirit. This “Deposit”has been handed down
in both word and writing since that time. The writings, some of which are in the Bible, and others of which are in
documents contemporary with the Apostles and the first Bishops are still read today in both the original languages
and in translation. They are taught to priests and theologians in both theology schools and Universities. If they are
read from within the tradition that composed them, they can be accurately interpreted. But, if they are read apart from
the Tradition, they can be twisted so as to be unrecognizable. This is why we need both the visible structure of Pope,
Bishops, and priests to “check”theologians who have cast aside some of the moorings of the Apostolic Tradition.
Fidelity to the Tradition is just as important as knowing the tradition. It is incumbent on
every teacher of the Tradition to be sure he or she is not going “maverick”on the Church’s
teaching; theologians must also be faithful to the Church in all things of faith and morals.
Yours in Christ,
Father Don Malin
