The Church consistently teaches that this doctrine must be interpreted within the harmony of faith and reason, avoiding reductionism or distortion. The theological articulation of dogma in sacred scripture developed over centuries through the reflection of the Fathers, the decrees of ecumenical councils, and the pastoral life of the Church. Ultimately, it contributes to the sanctification of the faithful and the building up of the Mystical Body of Christ. It is grounded in Sacred Scripture and transmitted through Sacred Tradition, forming part of the coherent unity of Christian teaching. It safeguards revealed truth while inviting deeper intellectual assent and personal conversion.
