Fidelity

Faithful to the Catechism and Magisterium


Fidelity

Dogma


Truths revealed by God and proposed by the Church as divinely revealed call for the assent of faith.

Fidelity

Definitive doctrine


Teachings definitively proposed concerning faith and morals are to be firmly accepted and held.

Fidelity

Ordinary Magisterium


Non-definitive authentic teaching calls for religious submission of intellect and will, as described in canon 752 and Lumen gentium 25.

Fidelity

Prudential judgment


Applying principles to particular circumstances requires reasoned judgment. Distinguish enduring teaching from debatable policy choices.

Fidelity

Our audit approach


Session materials are reviewed against their cited sources; findings, corrections and unresolved questions are retained in the private episcopal-review area.
