August 24, 2010 – Catechism 464-469

The whole idea of True God and True Man we can see was challenged or misunderstood from the earliest days of the Church.  This paragraph’s are a good example, not only of the Catechism’s ability to instruct us of what Catholics believe, but the importance of a Church authority when it comes to teaching and instructing Christians.  Different heresies spread, and are still being spread, throughout the history of the Church and we need a guide to help us find the truth.  I think we see here that not only from the earliest days of the Church were there disagreements, but also ways to sort out the disagreements, come to solutions through the Holy Spirit and make teachings that were firm.  The same Church does the same today.
