§1444In imparting to his apostles his own power to forgive sins the Lord also gives them the authority to reconcile sinners with the Church. This ecclesial dimension of their task is expressed most notably in Christ's solemn words to Simon Peter: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ear…
1. He that has done and taught, it says, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven. And with much reason; for to show true wisdom in words, is easy, but the proof which is by works is the part of some noble and great one. Wherefore also Christ, speaking of the endurance of evil, puts Himself forth, bidding us take example from Him. On this account too, after this …
2. Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? Do you see how excellently he reasons, and proves the resurrection from the fact of Christ's being raised, having first established the former in many ways? For both the prophets spoke of it, says he, and the Lord Himself showed it by His appeari…

And we call attention, in the first pl…
36. For lest a man, perceiving that the Son has all that the Father has, from the exact likeness and identity of that He has, should wander into the irreligion of Sabellius, considering Him to be the Father, therefore He has said 'Was given unto Me,' and 'I received,' and 'Were delivered to Me John 10:18; Matthew 28:18,' only to show that He is not the Father, but the Father's …
Christ the Lord, for the shepherding and increase of the People of God, established in his Church a variety of offices which aim at the good of the whole body. Ministers who are endowed with sacred power serve their brethren so that all who belong to the People of God may attain to salvation.

Q. Why is he called Christ, meaning anointed? A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed with the Holy Spirit to be our chief prophet and teacher who perfectly reveals to us the secret counsel and will of God for our deliverance; our only high priest who has set us free by the one sacrifice of his body, and who continually pleads our cause with the …
Q. Why the next words: and is seated at the right hand of God? A. Christ ascended to heaven, there to show that he is head of his church, and that the Father rules all things through him.

We believe that we have no access to God except through the one and only Mediator and Intercessor, "Jesus Christ the righteous," who therefore was made human, uniting together the divine and human natures, so that we human beings might have access to the divine Majesty.
