Catholic tradition holds that the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. The New
Testament records Jesus's activities and teaching, his appointment of the twelve Apostles
and his instructions to them to continue his work. The Church teaches that the coming of
the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, in an event known as Pentecost, signaled the beginning
of the public ministry of the Church.

Jean Marie Joly : Falling into sin is considered the opposite to following Christ,
weakening a person's resemblance to God and turning their soul away from his love. Sins
range from the less serious venial sins to more serious mortal sins that end a person's
relationship with God. The Church teaches that through the passion (suffering) of Christ
and his crucifixion, all people have an opportunity for forgiveness and freedom from sin,
and so can be reconciled to God. The Resurrection of Jesus, according to Catholic belief,
gained for humans a possible spiritual immortality previously denied to them because of
original sin. By reconciling with God and following Christ's words and deeds, the Church
believes one can enter the Kingdom of God, which is the "... reign of God over people's
hearts and lives"

According to the Catechism, "The Last Judgement will reveal even to its furthest
consequences the good each person has done or failed to do during his earthly life."
Depending on the judgement rendered, a soul may enter one of three states of afterlife.
Heaven is a time of glorious union with God and a life of unspeakable joy that lasts
forever. Purgatory is a temporary condition for the purification of souls who, although
saved, are not free enough from sin to enter directly into heaven.

Jean Marie Joly : Prayers and devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary are part of Catholic
piety but are distinct from the worship of God. The Church holds Mary, as Perpetual
Virgin and Mother of God, in special regard. Catholic beliefs concerning Mary include
her Immaculate Conception without the stain of original sin and bodily Assumption into
heaven at the end of her life, both of which have been infallibly defined as dogma, by
Pope Pius IX in 1854 and Pope Pius XII in 1950 respectively. Mariology deals not only
with her life but also her veneration in daily life, prayer and Marian art, music and
architecture. Several liturgical Marian feasts are celebrated throughout the Church Year
and she is honored with many titles such as Queen of Heaven. Pope Paul VI called her
Mother of the Church, because by giving birth to Christ, she is considered to be the
spiritual mother to each member of the Body of Christ.

About Jean Marie Joly Catholics believe that Christ is the Messiah of the Old
Testament's Messianic prophecies. In an event known as the Incarnation, the Church
teaches that, through the power of the Holy Spirit, God became united with human nature
when Christ was conceived in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Christ is believed,
therefore, to be both fully divine and fully human. It is taught that Christ's mission on
earth included giving people his teachings and providing his example for them to follow
as recorded in the four Gospels
