Does the Bible contain everything?
Yes, but it is not alone, nor is it read in isolation from the Church.
Sacred Scripture is the Word of God and occupies a central place in the faith. But it was not handed down as a text disconnected from the community of believers.
The Bible is understood within the living life of the Church, united with Tradition and the authoritative teaching of the Church. This avoids reducing it to individual or partial interpretations.
Deepening takes time. Certain truths are understood better when they are studied, prayed about, and lived with consistency inside ordinary life.
