Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 344 – Part II.
(Youcat answer - repeated) Believing is
a path. One learns how to stay on this path, in other words, how to act rightly
and to lead a good life, only by following the instructions in the Gospel. The
teaching authority (Magisterium) of the Church must remind people also about the
demands of the natural moral law.
A
deepening through CCC
(CCC 2034) The Roman Pontiff and the
bishops are "authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the
authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the
faith to be believed and put into practice" (LG 25). The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops
in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to
practice, the beatitude to hope for.
Reflecting
and meditating
(Youcat comment) There are not
two truths. What is humanly right cannot be wrong from the Christian
perspective. And what is right according to Christianity cannot be humanly
wrong. That is why the Church must teach comprehensively about moral issues.
(CCC
Comment)
(CCC 2035) The supreme degree of
participation in the authority of Christ is ensured by the charism of infallibility. This infallibility
extends as far as does the deposit of divine Revelation; it also extends to all
those elements of doctrine, including morals, without which the saving truths
of the faith cannot be preserved, explained, or observed (Cf. LG 25; CDF,
declaration, Mysterium Ecclesiae 3).
