M.R 5.D. Analysis on Peter Kreeft's article

Peter Kreeft's article analyzes the four marks of the Church. I will atempt to do the same, with the guidance of the article. I have chosen to analyze the mark ONE. 
     ONE: one is used to describe both the unity of the Church and the mystical Body of Christ. The oneness of the Church is used in context of the of reasons for our faith such as: One God, One Faith, One Baptism, etc. One is used to describe the mystical Body of Christ because there is one leader of the Church, that is God. It is not possible to have two supreme heads governing. The same goes for the Church and the mystical body of Christ. One is also used to describe Christ, and that came about to combat heresies, such as that Christ was two separate persons.This is not true, and the need for the mark "one" came about from this .

This analysis I tried to keep to a minimum to prevent me from repeating myself. I analyzed the mark of the church ONE. One is one of four marks, and attests to the unity of the Church. This analysis I tried to expound on what these meant to us today. It is very easy to just explain the history of something, but to apply it to our lives today is a much more difficult task. The usefulness of applying something to one's everyday life gives us as the thinker to come up with several ways, and to expond on our creativity.
