Pope
Benedict XVI is taking Wednesday catechesis back to basics during this Year of Faith:
Christians today
often do not even know the central core of their Catholic faith, the Creed,
thus leaving the way open to certain forms of syncretism and religious
relativism, with no clarity about which truths must be believed and the
salvific uniqueness of Christianity. We must go back to God, to the God of
Jesus Christ, we must rediscover the message of the Gospel and cause it to
enter more deeply into our minds and our daily lives.
In these catechesis
during the Year of Faith I would like to help people make this journey, in
order to regain and understand the central truths of faith about God, man, the
Church, and all social and cosmic reality, by reflecting upon the affirmations
contained in the Creed. And I hope to make it clear that these contents or
truths of the faith are directly related to our life experience. They require a
conversion of existence capable of giving rise to a new way of believing in
God.
