Thereasonisthatthewhole bodyofdefinedCatholic doctrineisbasedonthe truthandauthorityofGod, whoknowseverythingand cannottellalie.Catholicism'sbedrockofauthority istheirrefutabletestimony ofSupremeTruth,who foundedtheChurchtodisseminateandprotectHis revelationunderHisper- sonalcare.

Youask,"DoCatholics havemorethanalogical convictionoftheirfaith?'
Yes.Faithisoneofthe three whichtheologicalvirtues, areinfusedintothe soulatBaptismtogetherwithsanctifyinggrace. Sanctifyinggraceisthelife principleofsupernatural operation,justasthesoulis thelifeprincipleofthe bodyinnaturaloperation.Faith,then,thoughitcan readilyjustifyitselfthrough reason,isenlivenedand bolsteredbyGod'sgrace- certainlymorethana"logi- calconviction."
