Catechism Paragraph 925
Part 1: THE PROFESSION OF FAITH
Section 2: THE CREEDS
Chapter 3: I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Article 9: "I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH"

Religious life was born in the East during the first centuries of Christianity. Lived within institutes canonically erected by the Church, it is distinguished from other forms of consecrated life by its liturgical character, public profession of the evangelical counsels, fraternal life led in common, and witness given to the union of Christ with the Church.[466]
