Public Revelation
By divine Revelation God has communicated Himself and His will concerning our salvation (Vatican II, Dei Verbum, no. 6). The perfect Revelation of God is the Person of Jesus Christ (Heb. 1:1-2; Dei Verbum, no. 2). Public Revelation refers to the deposit of faith, entrusted to the Apostles, which includes all Church teaching (i.e., dogma and doctrine). Public Revelation ended with the death of the last apostle, St. John. As the Church reflects on the sacred deposit, her understanding can deepen, but the sacred deposit itself (i.e., what God revealed to us through His Son) does not change (Catechism, no. 66).
