II. The Language of Faith

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

170
We do not believe in formulae, but in those realities they express, which faith
allows us to touch. “The believer’s act [of faith] does not terminate in
the propositions, but in the realities [which they express].”⁵⁶
All the same, we do approach these realities with the help of formulations of
the faith which permit us to express the faith and to hand it on, to celebrate
it in community, to assimilate and live on it more and more.
