“Catechesis aims at putting ‘people... in communion... with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity.’ In catechesis ‘Christ, the Incarnate Word and Son of God,... is taught—everything else is taught with reference to him—and it is Christ alone who teaches—anyone else teaches to the extent that he is Christ’s spokesman, enabling Christ to teach with his lips…’” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 426-427).
