 Augustine says, no greater wealth, no greater treasure, than the Catholic faith, provided we live as our faith teaches us. The truth of this is especially felt by Catholics at the hour of death. In matters of faith never trust your own judgment, but always humbly submit to the decisions of Holy Church; for when you believe what the Church teaches, you believe the Word of God.

20. What are Mysteries?

Mysteries are beyond reason, but not contrary to it.

22. Where are the truths revealed of God contained?

The truths revealed by God are contained in the Holy Scripture and tradition.

23. What is the Holy Scripture?

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books which were written by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and acknowledged by the Church as the Word of God.
