Catholic Theological Analysis of Truth Biblical and Patristic Approach 1. The Nature of Truth in Catholic Teaching Truth in Catholic theology is not an abstract philosophical concept, but a living, personal reality embodied in Jesus Christ.

When Jesus stands before Pilate, He reveals the purpose of His coming: “For this I was born, and for this I…
Recognizing and Confronting Spiritual Deception in Light of Sacred Scripture Introduction: The Eternal Danger of Spiritual Deception The question of false teachers and deceivers is not a new phenomenon in Christianity – it reaches back to the very beginnings of the Church.

As many pastoral workers, spiritual directors, confessors, and experienced exorcists testify, true love always means speaking the truth and offering a path of liberation and holiness. ## Theological Understanding of Human Sexuality Catholic theology views the human person as an integral being created in the image…
