Synopsis

The unity of the Church follows necessarily from the unity of God, for the Church is not a multitude of persons as separate individuals, but an unity of Divine grace living in a multitude of rational creatures, who submit themselves to grace. Grace is given also to them, that are disobedient and that make no use of it < who bury their talent in the earth; • but these are not in the Church. The unity of the Church is not an imaginary, nor an allegorical, but a real and substantial unity, like that of many members in a living body.The Church is one, notwithstanding her seeming division to the apprehension of men yet living upon earth. It is only in relation to man, that the division of the Church into visible and invisible can be recognized; but her unity is real and absolute. They who are yet living on earth; they who have terminated their earthly career; they, who were not created to walk upon earth (as Angels).
