(11: 6) Without faith it is impossible to please
[6 ] But without faith it is impossible to please because nobody comes to God if not previously believed to exist and that he rewards those who seek it.
(CIC 848) "Even though God in ways known only by him, can lead to faith, 'without which it is impossible to please' (11: 6), men who know the Gospel without his own fault, corresponds, however, the Church's need and at the same time, the sacred right to evangelize " ( Ad gentes , 7). (C.I.C 842) El vínculo de la Iglesia con las religiones no cristianas es en primer lugar el del origen y el del fin comunes del género humano: “Todos los pueblos forman una única comunidad y tienen un mismo origen, puesto que Dios hizo habitar a todo el género humano sobre la entera faz de la tierra; tienen también un único fin último, Dios, cuya providencia, testimonio de bondad y designios de salvación se extienden a todos hasta que los elegidos se unan en la Ciudad Santa” ( Nostra aetate, 1). (C.I.C 843) La Iglesia reconoce en las otras religiones la búsqueda "en sombras y bajo imágenes", the unknown God, but coming as it is He who gives to all life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth, which can be found in the various religions, "as a preparation for the Gospel as a gift from one who enlightens all men, that at length have life" (Lumen Gentium , 16, cf. Nostra Aetate, 2; nuntiandi Evangelii , 53). (CIC 841) Church's relations with Muslims . "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. Among them are first and foremost, Muslims, profess to hold the faith of Abraham and worship with us at one, merciful God who will judge the men at the end of the world "(Lumen Gentium , 16, cf. Nostra Aetate, 3). (CIC 344) There is a solidarity among all creatures by the fact that all have the same Creator, and are all ordered to his glory: "Praised be God for every creature, my Lord, and praised especially for Brother Sun, enlightening, and open the day, and is beautiful in its splendor and leads through the skies story of its author. for our sister water, beautiful in its candor, which is useful, chaste, humble, praised my Lord! And the sister land that is all blessings, Sister Mother Earth, which gives at all times the herbs and fruits and flowers, and feeds us, praised my Lord! Serve him with affection and humble heart, thankful for their gifts, sing their creation. All creatures, praise to my Lord. Amen. (St. Francis of Assisi, Canticum Solis Fratris ). (CIC 354) Respect the laws inscribed in creation and the relations that derive from the nature of things is a principle of wisdom and a foundation of morality.
