Catholic doctrine refers to the official teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Church. It is based on the Bible, the traditions of the Church, and the teachings of the Pope and Church Fathers. Key doctrines include the belief in the Holy Trinity, the importance of the sacraments, and the authority of the Church in interpreting scripture. Central to Catholic doctrine is the concept of salvation, which is believed to be achieved through faith, good works, and participation in the sacraments. The Church also emphasizes the importance of moral teachings, such as the sanctity of life and the call to love one’s neighbor, guiding the faithful in their daily lives.
