SOURCES OF TRUTH• Immediate experience
• Second hand knowledge
Expertise? Trustworthiness?
• Sources of Catholic Teaching:
Bible
Catechism of the Catholic Church
Code of Canon Law
Papal Documents
Clergy (a.k.a. priests like me!)

A person’s INTELLECT or MIND.
The capability of looking at something logically.
Reason is a gift from God.
“Jesus came to take away your sins, NOT your minds!“
This is the part of the mind that makes connections.
It recognizes patterns and uses them to draw conclusions.
REASON
![Page 14: Christianity 101: Session One · Introduction: Session Structure 1. Varied style and content Lecture, video, PowerPoint, discussions, review questions, etc. 2. Questions: No bad questions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071001/5fbdbe9ba290540c7879fb41/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Faith
Trust based upon EXPERIENCE.
“Blind Faith” is trusting WITHOUT experience.
Which really isn’t faith at all.
We demonstrate faith a lot: With family and friends, strangers
With Science, Math, and Technology
With God
FAITH
![Page 15: Christianity 101: Session One · Introduction: Session Structure 1. Varied style and content Lecture, video, PowerPoint, discussions, review questions, etc. 2. Questions: No bad questions](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071001/5fbdbe9ba290540c7879fb41/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Faith and Reason really can’t be separated and should be balanced in order for either one to work properly.
Reason without Faith stops working!
Without the trust of Faith, Reason has no foundation to build from.
Faith without Reason becomes blind faith.
Faith would no longer be based upon experience and would QUICKLY fall into error.

Mystery vs. Problem
A person
Love
God
PROBLEM → Can definitely be solved…like how 1 + 1 = 2
MYSTERY → Can be known, but NEVERcompletely known.
