Few people show interest in studying their Catholic doctrine. Either it is found boring or there are things that are more pressing than this. Often this neglect yields serious damage to the faith as one grows older yet a toddler in the knowledge of doctrine. To keep our faith burning, we must foster eagerness to get to know the Church better and her teachings. We know how difficult it is to love and to be loyal to someone you do not know. And to know the Catholic doctrine, for a Catholic is to know and love God. Knowledge of faith is a duty both to God and to our fellowmen. In Balanghai, Catholic doctrine classes are given by a priest or a lay person. These classes make us understand and appreciate their splendor so that we can help the others to revive the interest in faith lost in the many attractions that compete for our attention. | "Faithfulness to Christ's doctrine is absolutely essential to our getting to heaven."
