| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity |
 | | The same hand was employed in the production of both religions, and by type and promise and prophecy the Old Dispensation points clearly to the New. |
 | | Taking, then, first of all, Christ's own dogmatic and moral teaching, we may divide it into (a) what He did not reveal but only reaffirmed, (b) what He drew from obscurity, and (c) what He added to the sum total of belief and practice. |
 | | This universal charity He designed to be the mark of His true followers (John, xiii, 45), and in it, therefore, we must see the genuine Christian spirit, so distinct from everything that had hitherto been seen on earth that the precept which inspired it He called "new" (John, xiii, 34). |
