Faith is first of all a personal adherence of man to God. At the same time, and inseparably, it is a free assent to the whole truth that God has revealed (no. 150, original emphasis). Such assent presupposes a joyful obedience to God as He reveals Himself and His saving truth. To obey (from the Latin obaudire, to hear or listen to) in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard, because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself (Catechism, no. 144). As Jesus said, He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me (Luke. 10:16). Catholics assent to the Churchs teachings out of faith
in God, who has invested the Magisterium, the servant of His Word, with His authority: Remember: "it is a free assent to the whole truth that God has revealed Not selective of which words or teachings of Jesus and His Church that you accept.
