The Catholic Church, since the time of the apostles, has preached the faith as the truth. I have already quoted St. Peter to the effect that the apostles and their converts “were not following fictitious tales.” Jesus Christ proved the truth of his assertions about himself by rising from the dead. As St. Paul explains in Chapter 15 of his first epistle to the Corinthians, the resurrection of Christ was a matter that could be verified with eyewitnesses, not only the apostles, but many others, as well (cf. CCC 641-44). In addition, the many prophecies that our Lord fulfilled by his birth, life and death, give further proof of the truth of the revelation committed by him to his Church (cf. CCC 156 and 522). It is with arguments of this kind that we must defend the doctrines of the Catholic Church, not by seeking to prove that the Catholic religion is more useful than any other.
