Analogy of Faith
The Analogy of Faith is the coherence of the truths of faith among themselves and within the whole plan of Revelation.
The Analogy of Faith refers to the coherence of the truths of faith among themselves and within the whole plan of Revelation (CCC 114). It is a key principle for the interpretation of Scripture, ensuring that no individual passage is understood in a way that contradicts the rest of the faith.
Unity of Doctrine
Because all revealed truths come from the same God, they form a harmonious whole. The Analogy of Faith helps the faithful to see the internal logic and beauty of the Church's teaching (CCC 114).
