"If you wish to explore the Holy Scripture, and you overcome your laziness and apply yourself, thirsting for the knowledge, then every good thing will be yours. You will fill your mind with the divine light. Then, when you apply that light to the doctrines of the Church, you will very easily recognize everything that is true and unadulterated, and lay it up in the hidden treasures of your soul." St. Cyril of Alexandria, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, d.444 AD
Many years ago I thought that the Bible was God's Word, but the teachings of the Catholic Church were the teachings of men. But then, as I learned more about Catholic doctrines and dogmas, I found that most were based on Scripture! This helped me immensely! I could then rest assured that those doctrines and dogmas were God's Word to me and helped me apply God's Word in the Bible to my daily living.
