This video asks the hard questions: Is the Church still Catholic? Has She lost the true faith? ... Can we count on today's Church to lead us to salvation?

What business does any Catholic have asking such questions?

Q. What, then, is the Church at the present time?
  A. The entire body of pastors and people, bound together by the same divine truths, laws, and means of grace, under one head, the Pope of Rome.
Q. Who are the true successors of the Apostles?
  A. Only the Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church.
Q. Why?
  A. Because they alone are rightly consecrated and in communion with the Pope, the Head of the Church.
Q. Is not the Catholic Church the household of which Jesus Christ is the Master?
  A. She is.
Q. Will Satan be able to take possession of this household in spite of its Divine Master?
  A. No one can say so without blasphemy.
Q. Is not the Catholic Church the Body of Jesus Christ?
  A. The Church, says St. Paul, is the Body of Christ.
Q. What follows from this?
  A. That Christ is inseparably united with His Church.
Q. What, then, would it be for one to say that the Church could be destroyed?
  A. It would be to say that Christ or God can be overcome, which would be the height of madness and blasphemy. (Fr. Michael Müller, Familiar explanation of Christian doctrine, pp. 44-5, 65-6)

In less than 150 words, what is the True Faith, as defined by the CC? In other words, what is required for salvation? Thank you.
