Catechism of the Crisis in the Church
Chapter II: THE FAITH
•
Isn’t there progress in the Faith?
Progress in the doctrine of the Faith is possible only in the sense that the truths of faith
are better understood and explicated. Such a development was predicted by Jesus
Christ for His Church when He said: “But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the
Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring all things to your
mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you” (Jn. 14:26).

Doesn’t the Holy Ghost teach new truths to the
Church?
Revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle. Since then, the Holy Ghost does
not teach new truths, but rather makes the Church enter ever more profoundly into the
truth brought by Christ. Thus revealed truths that played only a secondary role in the
life of the Church at a certain period may assume a primary importance in another age.
The controversies that opposed the Church to heretics also forced her to set forth the
truths of the Faith in a more precise and clear manner, making explicit truths that till
then were implicitly held, but never adding to the deposit of faith [depositum fidei] as
revealed to the Apostles.
•
What are the rules of this development of the Faith?
The development of doctrine can elaborate that which was taught in the past, but it can
never contradict or modify it. There can be no opposition to what has been taught.
Once a dogma has been defined it cannot later become false, void, or take on a new
meaning.
•
When she teaches a new dogma, doesn’t the Church
reveal new truths?
When the Church defines a new dogma, she does not reveal new truths, but she explains and puts the accent in a new manner on that which, fundamentally, has been
always believed. It is always “the same dogma, with the same sense and the same understanding.” The First Vatican Council clearly teaches: “The Holy Ghost has not been
promised to the successors of Peter that under His revelation they should reveal new
doctrine, but that with His assistance they might in a holy manner guard and faithfully
set forth Revelation as transmitted by the apostles, that is to say the deposit of the
faith.”
