March 25, 2010 - Catechism 166-171

Faith is a gift from God for us all to use in order to return to God.  But it is not just something we get and it is automatic.  It is something that is grown and nurtured.  The job of the Church is to help nurture and grow that gift inside of us.  That is why God established the Church on Earth.  To allow a place for us to go to help us increase our faith.  How strong would our faith be if there were only one Church on Christ with no divisions.  As it is today, there are so many churches saying so many things that leads to a decrease in our faith of what is Truth.
