Which statement best supports the idea that faith is not blind?

• A. Faith is supported by courage alone
• B. Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition form the Deposit of Faith
• C. Miracles alone validate faith
• D. The Church demands unquestioning assent

Answer: (B)

Faith is not blind because it rests on divine revelation safeguarded by the Church. Sacred Scripture contains the written record of God’s self-revelation, while Sacred Tradition preserves and hands on the living teaching handed down from the apostles. Together they form the Deposit of Faith—the body of truth the Church preserves, interprets, and presents to believers. This framework shows that belief is a reasoned assent to revealed truth, guided by the Church’s teaching authority, rather than a leap made without evidence or outside understanding.

Courage alone doesn’t establish faith, since bold conviction isn’t the measure of truth. Miracles can accompany belief, but they don’t by themselves convey the full content of what is believed. And requiring unquestioning assent ignores how faith is received and grown through informed understanding and trust in God’s revelation.
