Is fideism true or false based on the catechism of the catholic church number 158?

Answer 1

--is Catholic--

Fideism
(Latin fides, faith).

A philosophical term meaning a system of philosophy or an attitude of mind, which, denying the power of unaided human reason to reach certitude, affirms that the fundamental act of human knowledge consists in an act of faith, and the supreme criterion of certitude is authority.

Fideism is contrary to the Catholic Faith. Vatican Council I teaches as a dogma of Catholic faith that "one true God and Lord can be known with certainty by the natural light of human reason by means of the things that are made" (Const., De Fide Catholicâ", Sess. III, can. i, De Revelatione; Denzinger, n. 1806).

The Catholic Catechism (1997) paragraph 158, also rejects fideism. The paragraph's concentration is on how reason and revelation work in concert and how both are necessary. As such, one does not know God by faith alone, which is a rejection of fideism. Other paragraphs in the CCC and in its notes will more directly discuss how God might be known by reason alone.
