Chapter 3: Christ Jesus; Mediator and Fullness of All Revelation (65-73)

This section reminds me of those moments growing up when I was faced with the ol "We're done talking about this"...
The CCC seems to be making clear that this new covenant will not pass or away and nothing new will be added. That which we perceive as "new" from HMC is simply (although anything but simple) the building on of what is and the following through to logical extensions.
Marian Apparitions seem to be covered here, as the CCC teaches that any private revelation is not to be interpreted as "new revelations", but God's effort to help us live today those things he taught much earlier.

God has revealed himself fully by sending his own Son, in whom he has established his covenant for ever. The Son is his Father's definitive Word; so there will be no further Revelation after him.

That pretty much sums it up!

Chapter 2: God Comes to Meet Man (50-64)

This section begins with an interesting statement:
"By natural reason, man can know God with certainty, on the basis of his works" - I think our science teacher would love this one, right?
It begins by asserting that the gift of knowing God is a gift from God through Jesus and is evidence of God's desire to be known. God wants us to have "access to [Him]". The ultimate goal of God's revelation is to make us more malleable to adoption by God.
God's being is so vast that He has slowly revealed himself to us throughout time. The rest of this section is an exceptionally brief walk through Noah, Abraham and the forming of the Israel as God's chosen people.
It would seem then, that we begin with the idea that God can be known through reason. That reason, though, can only take us so far. God adds to this reason divine grace to help us deepen our knowledge of Him. This process of knowing God began before us and will continue after us, but the next section seems to be how this all culminates in the person of Jesus.

Ch. 1: Man's Capacity for God (26-49)

"Our dignity rests, above all, on the fact that we are called to communion with God" [sic]
I worded this so badly, so many times, but I'm going to try again...
The sentence above is a bit confusing to me: I can see some of our dignity resting on the fact that we are called to communion with God, but "above all"?
What of all creation? Isn't all creation called to communion with God? Where does the dignity of the angels lie in "above all"?
I'm out of time, feel free to comment on this, or on whatever stands out to you from paragraphs 26-49

The Intro, paragraphs 1-25

Well, I just looked through the intro and it's mostly informational. The first part starts with God, moves through the Church and then ends with us.
After that, it's more instructional about how to read it, that is, until the very last statement. Holy Lord, brace yourselves:

"The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love."

Holy Lord that is powerful! What a blessing. Whatever we teach, we must make love accessible and help people see that all that is taught, all that is lived by HMC is about helping us all arrive at love.
It would seem that our first challenge, then, is to make sure love is the origin of what we do here and make sure that that love is defined not by 21st century American modernism, but by Christ.
