Article 9: "I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH"
The Lord Jesus endowed his community with a structure that will remain until the Kingdom is fully achieved. Before all else there is the choice of the Twelve with Peter as their head.[168] Representing the twelve tribes of Israel, they are the foundation stones of the new Jerusalem.[169] The Twelve and the other disciples share in Christ's mission and his power, but also in his lot.[170] By all his actions, Christ prepares and builds his Church.
