To summarise with the words of Pope Benedict that succinctly
sum up what we believe
- FAITH
"Our faith is not born from a myth or an idea, but from
an encounter with the Risen One, in the life of the
Church."
Pope Benedict XVI: General Audience 24 September 2008
- SALVATION
“It is becoming more and more difficult, in our Western
societies, to speak in a meaningful way of 'salvation,
yet salvation - deliverance from the reality of evil,
and the gift of new life and freedom in Christ - is at
the heart of the Gospel.”
Pope Benedict XVI: Meeting with American Bishops,
Washington DC 16 April 2008
- CHRISTIANITY
“Christianity is not a new philosophy or new morality.
[And] we are Christians only if we encounter Christ.”
Pope Benedict XVI: Wednesday Audience 3 September 2008
