The five required mysteries mentioned in a Catholic catechism

Five Mysteries

It lists the five as: 1) That there is one God; 2) the Trinity; 3) the Incarnation; 4) the Crucifixion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ; and 5) that God rewards good and punishes evil.  Many false traditionalist priests (who hold that souls can be saved in false religions, as the video mentions) only believe that people must know and believe #1 and #5.  They call that a ‘supernatural faith’ (although one cannot have a supernatural and justifying faith if one does not have the Catholic faith).  They heretically deny the defined dogma that the Christian/Catholic faith is necessary and that there is no other name under Heaven by which people must be saved (Acts 4:12).  The truth of Acts 4:12 (which they reject) has also been dogmatically taught by the Church.  It was proclaimed by many popes and the Council of Trent.

Pope St. Leo the Great, Letter 129: “… the Egyptians had from the beginning learned from the teaching of the most blessed Apostle Peter through his blessed disciple Mark, that which it is agreed the Romans have believed, that beside the Lord Jesus Christ ‘there is no other name given to men under heaven, in which they must be saved.’”

People who deny this truth (as the aforementioned priests and groups do) sever their relationship with God at the root.  They do not have a divine faith, but only a human ‘faith’.  That taints their entire spirituality, their worship of God, etc., as we’ve mentioned elsewhere.  When they believe in that way, although they might have many traditional externals, rituals, etc., they cannot please God.  That’s why these issues are so important.
