The article presents the Church’s origins from Christ as the basis of her uniqueness. Christ wanted to found the Church and gave her a particular structure and permanent actualization of the Ecclesia in history. Thus, the Ecclesia totally belongs to Christ, both in her origin and in her permanent actualization and in carrying out of the salvific mission. The origins from Christ are also an essential element of the Church’s credibility.
The aim of the article is to show mercy in its ecclesiogenic function. The analyses carried out lead to the conclusion that mercy determines the identity of the Church, since it conditions its existence, decides its shape in history and proves its credibility.
