Curious about how a “Catechism” is based on God’s Word?
Same with “Sacred Tradition”?

If you do any honest research on both, you’ll see that they are both heavily influenced on Greco-Roman Paganism.

Thanks for playing though...

If you do any honest research, you will see that the Catechism and Sacred Tradition are saturated with God';s Word. In fact, Holy Scriptures are a priileged and precious part of Sacred Tradition.

Yes, the Church is in heavy dialogue with Greco-Roman culture. To such an extent, that seven books of the OT and the entire New Testament were written in Greek, and (in both East and West) almost the entire corpus of the earliest commentary, the discussions and rulings of the first Ecumenical Councils, and even the polemics were carried out in Greek.

And the Church is in dialogue, not just with Greco-Roman culture (which Paul did not scorn, but built upon: cf. especially Acts 17:22-34), but with every human culture She encounters.

You're very welcome.
