III. The New Law or the Law of the Gospel
1971
To the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount it is fitting to add the moral catechesis of
the apostolic teachings, such as Romans 12-15, 1 Corinthians 12-13, Colossians
3-4, Ephesians 4-5, etc. This doctrine hands on the Lord’s teaching with the
authority of the apostles, particularly in the presentation of the virtues that
flow from faith in Christ and are animated by charity, the principal gift of
the Holy Spirit. “Let charity be genuine…. Love one another with
brotherly affection…. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be
constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice
hospitality.”29 This catechesis also teaches us to deal with cases
of conscience in the light of our relationship to Christ and to the
Church.30
