What are two elements of the single deposit of faith?
The single deposit of faith consists of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Sacred Scripture refers to the written word of God found in the Bible, while Sacred Tradition encompasses the teachings and practices passed down through the Church that are not explicitly found in Scripture but are integral to the faith. Together, these two elements form the complete revelation of God's truth to humanity, guiding the beliefs and practices of the Church.
How does the catechism distinguish between these two sources of revelation?
The catechism distinguishes between two sources of revelation by stating that sacred tradition is the living transmission of the Gospel message in the Church's teaching, life, and worship. Sacred Scripture, on the other hand, is the written record of God's revelation found in the Bible. Together, these two sources of revelation complement each other in transmitting God's message to humanity.
What are the two sources of divine revelation?
Sacred Scripture and Sacred TraditionAdditional Answer:The one and only source of the information in the Book of Revelation can be read by all in the opening verses as follows: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of GOD, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."So, this is God the Father giving this 'reign of man' ending information to His Son, Jesus Christ who via an angel, gives it to the Apostle John for recording.
What is sacred tradition?
Most of the beliefs and practices found in sacred tradition have their basis in Scripture, but some do not. Catholics' belief that Mary was assumed into heaven is an example of a sacred tradition that has no reference in Scripture. The Assumption of Mary was nonetheless an important belief in the early Church, and that is why it has been passed on through the generations as part of sacred tradition. A few examples of beliefs and practices that do have their basis in Scripture would include the following: · The Apostles' Creed, an early summary of important Christian beliefs. · The role of bishops, priests, and the pope in Christian ministry. · The authority of the pope -- the belief that the pope cannot teach falsely when he speaks officially as head of the Church on matters of faith and morals. · Our understanding of the Sacraments and their place in Christian life.

What is the difference between the teachings found in the gospel versus scripture?
The teachings found in the gospel refer specifically to the teachings of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. Scripture, on the other hand, encompasses all religious texts and writings considered sacred by a particular faith tradition. The gospel is a subset of scripture, focusing on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
What is word of mouth in the Catholic religion?
The statement refers to Sacred Tradition as one with Sacred Scripture, and is found in the writings of s. Paul to the Thessalonians:"And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers." (1 Thes 2:13)"So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." (2 Thes 2:15)We read in the Catechism:"Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture...are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal...Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit...and [Holy] Tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of God which has been entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It transmits it to the successors of the apostles so that, enlightened by the Spirit of truth, they may faithfully preserve, expound and spread it abroad by their preaching.As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."This is discussed in depth in the Constitution Dei Verbumon Divine Revelation which you may find at the link below.

What is the 'deposit of faith'?
Catholic AnswerThe Deposit of Faith is the complete revelation given by Our Blessed Lord and the Holy Spirit to the first apostles, it is contained in both Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, guarded and taught by the Magisterium of the Church to all ages. .from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957That body of revelation, containing truths to be believed and principles of conduct, which was given by Christ to the Apostles, to be preserved by them and their successors, with the guarantee of infallibility for the guidance of the Church. It embraces the truths of both Scripture and Tradition. Some of its articles are explicit in Scripture, e.g., the Word was made flesh; and others are implicit, e.g., the Immaculate Conception. It closed with the death of the last surviving apostle. It is entrusted to the infallible magisterium of the Church to preserve, unfold, and defend the deposit. The word is found in 1 Timothy vi, 20, Depositum custodi, "Keep safe what has been entrusted to thee." . . . The term is consecrated by the First Council of the Vatican (session iii, cap. 4): "And the doctrine of faith which God revealed is proposed, not as a mere philosophical discovery to be elaborated by human minds, but as the divine deposit delivered by Christ to his spouse, to be by her faithfully guarded and infallibly declared."
