The Holy Church
The
Church is holy, although there are sinners within her. Those who sin, but who
cleanse themselves with true repentance, do not keep the Church from being
holy. But unrepentant sinners are cut off, whether visibly by Church authority,
or invisible by the judgment of God, from the body of the Church. And so in
this regard the Church remains holy.
St. Philaret of Moscow
