The Role of the Dogmatic Constitution in the Church

The First Vatican Council produced many documents that had all different levels of teachings. The dogmatic constitution is to be given a greater  acceptance in faith than a document.




My reflections on: GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS
God is our creator. One in the Holy Trinity. We as Catholics believe there is one, holy Lord, creator of all things. He has power, not for his happiness, but for ours. He bestows on us blessings. He will provide.



"God protects and governs by His Providence all things which He has made, "reaching from end to end mightily and ordering all things sweetly" (Wisdom 8:1). For "all things are bare and open to His eyes" (Heb. 4:13), even those which are yet to be, by the free action of creatures."

Reflection on: REVELATION
God, the beginning and end of all things, may be certainly known by the natural light of human reasons. God is telling us our revelation and the revelation of the Church itself.



Reflection on: FAITH
We are to have faith in God. God is our light in this world and in every world. We must believe and trust in Him, for he is our creator. We should not believe in Him because we "have" to, but because we really do have faith in Him and because we love Him.



Reflection on: FAITH AND REASON

Faith and reason are always together. Without faith, reason is only a scientific explanation on things and thats how it is viewed. But with faith, you are able to believe in that reason. Without reason, there is nothing to have faith or belief in.
