2 So that this call should resound throughout the world, Christ sent forth the apostles he had chosen, commissioning them to proclaim the gospel: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Strengthened by this mission, the apostles "went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it."
It is one thing to say this devoid of the Roman context. Are the Romanists successors of the apostles? What is the gospel of Rome? Isn’t works of satisfaction with a faith devoid of deadness? How can faith and works justify a person? The fact is we are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. Grace is all-sufficient.
3 Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world. This treasure, received from the apostles, has been faithfully guarded by their successors. All Christ's faithful are called to hand it on from generation to generation, by professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer.
I agree that the Gospel is what has been passed down. The Gospel is not apart of the assumption of Mary. There was no belief in the Assumption of Mary in the early church but only a non-Christian account of the story of Mary and her assumption. There is one pope in church history who rejected the story.
4 Quite early on, the name catechesis was given to the totality of the Church's efforts to make disciples, to help men believe that Jesus is the Son of God so that believing they might have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them in this life, thus building up the body of Christ.
What does it mean to believe in Jesus as the living Son of God? It means that we trust His promises and His death and bodily resurrection. Jesus is the eternal Son of God. Rome does not disagree, but to add the immaculate conception as part of the Gospel because it is a dogma is a terrible thing.
5 "Catechesis is an education in the faith of children, young people and adults which includes especially the teaching of Christian doctrine imparted, generally speaking, in an organic and systematic way, with a view to initiating the hearers into the fullness of Christian life."
The fullness of the Christian life is not apart of papal infallibility. It is a life centered on the Word of God alone as the sole foundation of our faith. We ought to educate our children but not with myths but sound doctrine.
