The idea that laws based in custom were true in a particular place and time, but laws based in nature, natural laws, were true everywhere and for everyone is based on Greek philosophy.
- A.
True

The statement is true because the Precepts of the Church are indeed basic obligations for all Catholics. These obligations are derived from the laws of the church and serve as guidelines for the faithful to follow in order to live a moral and virtuous life. The Precepts include attending Mass on Sundays and holy days, confessing sins at least once a year, receiving the Eucharist during Easter season, observing days of fasting and abstinence, and providing for the material needs of the church. By adhering to these obligations, Catholics demonstrate their commitment to their faith and the teachings of the church.Rate this question:

False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Canon Law and the Precepts of the Church are not the exact same thing. Canon Law refers to the set of laws and regulations that govern the Catholic Church, including matters such as the administration of the sacraments, the organization of the Church, and the rights and duties of the clergy and laity. On the other hand, the Precepts of the Church are a set of basic obligations that Catholics are expected to fulfill, such as attending Mass on Sundays and holy days, confessing sins at least once a year, and observing the days of fasting and abstinence. While Canon Law may include the Precepts of the Church, they are not synonymous.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The explanation for the given answer is that the statement is incorrect. The Precepts of the Catholic Church are not the maximum requirements for all Catholics. They are the minimum requirements that all Catholics are expected to follow. Following at least half of the Precepts does not mean that one is doing very well in the eyes of the church, as the church expects all Catholics to strive to follow all of the Precepts.Rate this question:
