Editing Revelation (section)

==== Catholic Church ====
The ''[[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'' of the [[Catholic Church]] states:<ref>{{CCC|pp=36|end=38}}</ref>

{{Quote|text='Our holy mother, the Church, holds and teaches that God, the first principle and last end of all things, can be known with certainty from the created world by the natural light of human reason.' Without this capacity, man would not be able to welcome God's revelation. Man has this capacity because he is created 'in the image of God'.

In the historical conditions in which he finds himself, however, man experiences many difficulties in coming to know God by the light of reason alone [...]
This is why man stands in need of being enlightened by God's revelation, not only about those things that exceed his understanding, but also 'about those religious and moral truths which of themselves are not beyond the grasp of human reason, so that even in the present condition of the human race, they can be known by all men with ease, with firm certainty and with no admixture of error'}}

The Catholic Church also believes [[Jesus in Christianity|Jesus Christ]] is the "fullness and mediator of all Revelations", and that no new divine revelation will come until the [[Second Coming]]. It also believes that God gradually leads the church into a deeper understanding of divine revelation, such as by private revelations, which do not fulfill, complete, substitute, or supersede divine revelation but help one live by divine revelation. The church does not obligate the faithful to believe in, follow, or publish private revelations whether or not they are approved.<ref>{{CCC|pp=65|end=73}}</ref>
