I asked this question before, but I really would like to know. It's a survey question, and I'd like to hear thoughts and experiences if anyone as any.

In Catholicism, the local Church is the diocese led by the bishop.
Church is the assembly of the People that God has called together from the ends of the earth.
In Catholic usage, the word "Church" has three inseparable meanings:
+ The People that God gathers in the whole world
+ The local church (diocese)
+ The liturgical (above all Eucharistic) assembly
The Church draws her life from the Word and the Body of Christ, and so herself becomes Christ's Body.
In the Nicene Creed (from 325 A.D.), the Church is professed to be one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.
With love in Christ.
