The virtue of faith is a supernatural virtue that enables us to assent firmly to all that God has revealed.

Christ’s Resurrection is a fundamental truth of our faith, as St Paul tells us (cf. 1 Cor 15:13-14). Thereby God inaugurated the life of the future world and put it at the disposition of mankind

God wished to manifest himself as a personal Being through the history of salvation. He raised up and guided a people to be the custodian of his revealed word. Through that people he prepared the world for the Incarnation of his Word, Jesus Christ.

A new doctrinal outline in the "Summaries of Catholic Teaching" series. Many people have found these helpful for getting to know the Catholic faith better and explaining it to others.

The Church continues to make Christ present in human history. In the history of the Church, we find the divine and the human closely intertwined.

Christ taught that to be saved we must carry out the commandments, which express the core of the natural moral law. The first commandment is twofold: love for God and love for neighbor out of love for God.

Christ died for our sins, to free us from them and redeem us from the slavery that sin introduced into mankind’s life.

“Acting is morally good when the choices of freedom are in conformity with man’s true good and thus express the voluntary ordering of the person towards our ultimate end: God himself.”

Personal sin is an “action, word or desire contrary to the eternal law."

The salvation achieved by Christ, and hence the mission of the Church, is directed to the human person in his or her integral being.
