Thus the church, at once “a visible organization and a spiritual community,” travels the same journey as all of humanity and shares the same earthly lot with the world: it is to be a leaven and, as it were, the soul of human society in its renewal by Christ and transformation into the family of God.Gaudium et Spes, Second Vatican Council
