According to the first Vatican Council, the Church is a perfect hierarchical structure, with the Pope as its leader. He cannot err when he teaches faith and morals. The Church is not only a structure, but also a mystery of communion, united in faith, sacraments and love, a sign of salvation for humanity... Catechesis on the Church, light of the world with P. Randriamiarantsoa Germain Thierry.

The Church is both visible and spiritual, i.e. a visible organisation with leaders and followers. Spiritual association through baptism and grace. Jesus is the only perfect Mediator between man and God. The Church is a community of people united by faith, hope and love. Catechesis on the Holy Spirit sanctifies the Church with P. Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.

The Church is the body of Christ; through baptism we are all one body in Christ, even though we are many. Baptism is a new birth for us: we are immersed in the life of Christ, we are incorporated into the Church and become participants in a special way in the sacrifice of Christ, who died and rose again... Catechesis on the Holy Spirit sanctifies the Church with P. Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.

The Church is like a sheepfold, a vineyard, a house to be built, a palace to be built, and so on. In the Old Testament, the Kingdom was often described in parables; examples cited in animal husbandry, agriculture, construction, the family and marriage, and were prepared in the books of the Prophets. Catechesis on the Holy Spirit sanctifies the Church with P. Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.
