In an article I just read a Catholic Cardinal brought up how the Catholic Church includes everyone and loves everyone. He brought up a parallel between the washing of hands and the sinnful actions that we may do. For example, the child was welcome at the table if he washed his hands just like how we are welcome at the table of God after we confess our sins and have been cleaned. He also mentioned the four marks of the Church and how they show the Church is universal.
I also found the part about how the Church loves everyone but condemns their actions interesting. It mentioned some controversial topics like abortion and homosexual marriage. He said that the Church still loves those who may chose to have an abortion as long as they repent and confess their sins. The Cardinal made a good point in that God will forgive all sins and wants everyone to come to him. All in all, this article has some good points about the universality of the Church.
