Catechism of the Crisis in the Church
Chapter II: THE FAITH
13) Can several religions possess the Faith?
From the fact that different religions contradict themselves on fundamental points it
follows that several of them cannot be true. Only one religion can be true, and that
is the Catholic religion. God revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, not in Buddha or
Mohammed; and Christ founded only one Church which must communicate His
teaching and His grace until the end of the world. Faith in a trinitarian God, in
Christ, and in the Church thus forms an indivisible unity.

Do the different religions really contradict one another?
God is either the Trinity, or He is not. If He is the Trinity, all non-Christian religions are false. But Christian confessions also contradict one another: some do not
believe in the divinity of Christ, many do not believe in the real presence of the
Body and Blood of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist, etc. Such opposite beliefs are not compatible.
14) How can we recognize that the Catholic Faith is
true?
Christ proved the truth of His mission by the miracles that He worked. This is why
He says: “Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? Otherwise
believe me for the very works’ sake’ (Jn. 14:11-12). The Apostles also established
themselves by their miracles: “But they going forth preached everywhere: the Lord
working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed” (Mk. 16:20).
Miracles are the proof of the divine mission of the Church
Can we be sure of the existence of miracles?
There have always been miracles in the Church. In fact, the existence of these miracles has never been more certain than today when, thanks to scientific knowledge
and tools of investigation, we can rule out natural explanations more easily than in
the past. Self-suggestion and hallucination have no place here. The multiplication of
food observed by numerous persons who have in no way been influenced in advance, the resurrection of a dead man, or the sudden cure of an organ which has
been almost completely destroyed can scarcely be explained in this way. The
Church never recognizes a miracle so long as the slightest possibility of a natural
explanation exists.
