 Catechesis on Creation, January 8, 1986 - August 6, 1986
The following speeches of John Paul II are from his Wednesday Audiences and contain his comments on the Creed. They offer a synopsis about the truth of the Christian faith in God, the creator of heaven and earth. These testimonials enter into a philosophical dialogue about science. Solidly founded on the Biblical data, these catechesis deal with human nature and its relationship with the rest of creation, the topic of the divine providence, as well as evil and angels.
