INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The
Church as a Universal Entity has from the beginning of history of man exalted
must influence in the development of humanity. The Church (Dr. Ludwig
Ott: 270) is a designation for the Christian Cult – structure since the
beginning of the fourth, century. In the profane sense it designates
the assembly of the people, the civil community or any kind of gathering of
people. But in the religion sense it mans the community of God.
Other synonymous designation is the kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God, house of
God. But the Roman Catechism supported by St. Augustine (Ps. 149.3) gives
the following definition of the concept “The Church is the faithful of the
whole world”.
In the
contemporary, we have the Churches in every nook and cranny of the
world. Each without doubt has gone into massive, advertising with
commercial jingles and messages competing for our attention daily.
The
Catholic Church is not left out in this drive; she has embraced the whole
teachings of Christ for marketing all over the religious, economic, social,
political and even cultural teachings is in the market.
In the
Mystic Corporis Pope Pius XII Encyclical 1943 descripted the true Church of
Christ as the holy catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church. And St. Paul in one
of his teaching says that believer (Church) is the body of Christ and that
Christ is the Head of the body, therefore he vividly depicts the inner
spiritual connection between Christ and his Church restored by faith, charity
and grace.

of Church or the other. Obviously, these Churches have one common

ground filled to the brim epitomize mass fellowship. Good fellowship indeed.
But a look
at the other side of the story is like opening a can of warm – corruption,
bribery, armed robbery, prostitution, child sells. The lise is
endless. Then an aid scholar will be forced to imagine where this
evil perpetrator comes from. Is it not the same “Good follower”
