God has revealed the truth about Himself and about creation in two ways. He has contained natural revelation inside the man and the environment. An interpersonal dialogue between God and man, allied with supernatural Revelation. It contains two trends: the Holy Bible and Tradition. Sources of the supernatural Revelation were entrusted to the Church`s Teaching and to the pope with the College of Bishops, so that they would guard the deposit of the faith, explained and intelligibly defined for the present generation of the Church`s members. For better understanding of the Divine revelation aby the believers, the Church`s Teaching explains the truths of faith in catechisms. This elaboration presents the Mariology questions based on an analysis of texts of the Catechism Of The Council of Trent - issued in 1566 year, after the Tridentine Council - and texts of Catechism Of The Catholic Church issued in 1992, based on the documents of the Second Vatican Council. The Catechism Of The Council of Trent consistsd of four parts. The first explains the articles of faith of the Apostles' Creed. The second discusses the Sacred Sacraments. The third teaches the Ten Commandments of God. The fourth analyses the matter of the Lord`s Prayer.
