The most salutary doctrine among all the sciences of the world is the Christian doctrine or the Catechism, because by it we are instructed in the one saving grace, and in the practice of Christian justice which, as Cornelius a Lapide remarks, are the true ways to eternal life. Moreover, the Christian doctrine is the most useful, because it is the beneficial source of the temporal welfare of men, of the sweet peace of families, and of the well-being of society. We may add that the Christian doctrine is most necessary, inasmuch as without it we cannot be saved. Alas without this spiritual life what would all knowledge profit us? Where are now the ancient philosophers of paganism, the doctors of Israel, those learned men who prided themselves on possessing all sciences and knowledge? (i Cor.i Yes, where are now all those learned men who knew all things except that alone which they ought to have known? Where are they? According to the wise sentence of St. Augustine: They are praised where they are not but tormented where they are. Thus, also will even many Christians fare, if they neglect the science of salvation, that is the Christian doctrine.
