II. The Language of Faith

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

171
The Church, “the pillar and bulwark of the truth”, faithfully guards
“the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints”. She
guards the memory of Christ’s words; it is she who from generation to
generation hands on the apostles’ confession of faith.⁵⁷ As a mother
who teaches her children to speak and so to understand and communicate, the
Church our Mother teaches us the language of faith in order to introduce us to
the understanding and the life of faith.
