Summary: The True Christian Doctrine
Review: This collection of the Canons and Decrees of the greatest of all Councils, reasserts, for all times, the true Christian Doctrine.

The Canons of the Council of Trent express Truths that were, are still, and will remain for all times, unchanging. Nobody who denies any of the Canons can consider himself a Christian.

As an example of the Principles of the Christian Faith that are violated all the times by self-proclaimed Christians is Canon 11, sixth session:

"If anyone says that Christ Jesus was given by God to men as a redeemer in whom to trust, and not also as a legislator whom to obey, let him be anathema."

This means that the Gospel is not just a message of hope, but also a book of laws that have to be obeyed. This way to look at the Gospel is the sign of a true Christian. Read the Gospel and see how many rich and powerful people really follow Jesus' commandments.
