It is grounded in Sacred Scripture and transmitted through Sacred Tradition, forming part of the coherent unity of Christian teaching. Catechesis in Sacred Scripture designates a defined doctrinal reality within the Catholic faith that arises from divine revelation and is authoritatively interpreted by the Church’s Magisterium. Ultimately, it contributes to the sanctification of the faithful and the building up of the Mystical Body of Christ. Properly understood, it is ordered toward communion with the Most Holy Trinity and participation in the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ. The theological articulation of catechesis in sacred scripture developed over centuries through the reflection of the Fathers, the decrees of ecumenical councils, and the pastoral life of the Church.
