There is no quandary. Go with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is the authoritative exposition of the one and perennial apostolic faith, and it serves as a “sure norm for teaching the faith,” as well as a “sure and authentic reference text” for preparing local catechisms for a Catholic. It is a statement of the Church’s faith and of catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition, and the Church’s Magisterium, and serves as the standard against which any writings are measured.
Are not those Catholic bishops who approved the writing not under church authority? If “”tradition” has been handed down as Catholics claim why are the writings Mary not to be on par with that of the ccc?
Yeah.
It had the largest voting block.
