2. God's way of coming to us: Scripture, Tradition, Magisterium
Compendium 11-24 Scripture 1 Timothy 2:4
1. Catholicism is the fullest and truest expression of Christianity.
2. Our Faith is not a matter of personal conjecture and preferences but rather a Revelation from God and Jesus Christ through Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium.
3. The 46 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament are a unified and coherent blueprint of God's plan of love for the world. This is demonstrated at Mass in the liturgy that draws from both the old and the new testaments.
4. The high point of revelation occurred when God the Father sent his only Son, the second Person of the Trinity into the world and the Son became like us in every way yet without sin.
5. The two sources of God's revelation and self-communication to us are Scripture and Tradition.
6. Christ established Peter and the Apostles as the first Magisterium and promised to protect their  teachings from error. The Pope and the bishops are the only unbroken successors of that Magisterium and promise.
