Faithful to the Magisterium!
"Stay sober and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, solid in your faith." John Paul the Great said that the Catechism is a "sure norm for teaching the Faith." This chart is useful in blending the Catechism and the themes found in the encyclicals of Pope John Paul II to help the faithful resist the devil, remaining solid in Faith. The chart is a helpful guide for Remnant members who develop talks for parishes and organizations, we hope it will also be an aid to you. Remnant has developed a Chastity and Vocation pamphlet based on section 2352 of the Catechism and we hope to write more pamphlets using this chart.
