A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion
Fr. Joseph Deharbe, SJ
What are mysteries? Can we totally comprehend mysteries? Where does God reveal Truth? From whom alone can we know the true sense of Holy Scripture?
In the third episode of This is Catholicism, His Excellency, Bishop Donald Sanborn, guides us through "Mysteries" and "Holy Scripture" in A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J.
Deharbe’s Catechism was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. His Excellency finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith.
Follow along with us as His Excellency, Bishop Donald Sanborn, rector of Most Holy Trinity Seminary, and host Jason Guardiano cover “On Faith in General: Mysteries and Holy Scripture.”

30. May no one, then, presume to explain the Scripture contrary to the interpretation of the Catholic Church?
31. But is the meaning of the Holy Scripture not clear in itself, and easy to be understood by every one?
32. Is it not, then, true that the Bible alone is the only Rule of Faith? Or, in other words: Is not every private individual to search the Bible, and nothing but the Bible, until he finds out what he has to believe?
33. What has the Church decreed with regard to the reading of the Bible in the vulgar tongue?
