ARTICLE IV
“Suffered Under Pontius Pilate, Was Crucified, Dead, And Buried”
IMPORTANCE OF THIS ARTICLE
How necessary is a knowledge of this Article, and how assiduous the pastor should be in stirring up in the minds of the faithful the frequent recollection of our Lord’s Passion we learn from the Apostle when he says that he knows nothing but Jesus Christ and him crucified.1 The pastor, therefore, should exercise the greatest care and pains in giving a thorough explanation of this subject in order that the faithful being moved by the remembrance of so great a benefit may give themselves entirely to the contemplation of the goodness and love of God towards us.
