MOTIVES OF CREDIBILITY

The rational grounds for accepting divine revelation in general, or of the divine establishment of the Catholic Church in particular. These grounds are also called the preambles of faith. They include the evidence from reason that God exists; that what he reveals is believable because he is all-wise and true; and that he did actually make a revelation because he performed and continues to perform verifiable miracles testifying to his having spoken.

"continues to perform verifiable miracles"

The Catholic church's existance after 2000 years is one of them.

[GonzoII]

existance = existence

So true. Thank you, God! “And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
