The '''doctrine of the Catholic Church''' is composed by all religious teachings of the [[Catholic Church]]

==Catechism==

A modern synthesis of all the catholic doctrine is provided in the [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]], the last version of which was done in 1992 by [[Pope]] [[John Paul II]].
The Catholic Church teaches that it was founded by [[Jesus Christ]] for the salvation of all people, and that this goal is reached by the teachings and the administration of all [[sacraments]] through which [[God]] grants salvation. Its teachings are based on tradition and apostolic scriptures

==Revelation==

The Catholic Church affirms the existance of one God, omnipotent of the universe and humanity. To the man [[free will]] is granted, so he can choos between [[good]]and [[evil]]. God revealed his law first to the people of Israel, and then, through Jesus, his son, to all the people on Earth.

==Ecclesiology==

Starting from the [[Concilio Vaticano II]], the Cruch tries to understand its role and nature according to different directives present in the [[Bible]], and in particular the [[New Testment]].

==Social doctrine==

The Church sustains that Jesus' teachings call its members to follow particular rules of behaviour. Althought the Church backs no particular parties, it affirms that the teachings translate into political decisions. Among those teachings are the total and utter respect for human life and the dignity of human existance, the preservation of Earth as creation of God, the acceptance of an extremely limited number in cases in which capital punishment and war is permitted

==Sacraments==

The Catholic Church recognizes seven sacraments, instituted, directly or indirectly, by Jesus Christ. These sacraments are:

1) [[Baptism]]
2) [[Eucharist]]
3) [[Reconciliation]]
4) [[Confirmation]]
5) [[Marriage]]
6) [[Holy orders]]
7) [[Anointing of the sick]]
