This article defends the claim that firm belief in divine testimony (‘Catholic Faith’) is morally valuable, if the broad claims of Christian orthodoxy hold. I discuss Jonathan Kvanvig's recent argument that Christians should not hold that salvific faith necessarily involves belief in revelation or God's existence, because such faith is not much ‘worth having’, suggesting that this argument is dubious from Catholic and Protestant theological perspectives. I then examine some extant accounts of Catholic Faith's value, conceding that Kvanvig successfully highlights their flaws. I therefore offer a novel explanation of Catholic Faith's value, drawing on Miranda Fricker's account of testimonial justice.

天主教信仰值得拥有吗?

如果基督教正统的广泛主张成立,这篇文章捍卫了对神圣见证(“天主教信仰”)的坚定信念在道德上有价值的主张。我讨论了乔纳森·克万维格(Jonathan Kvanvig)最近的论点,即基督徒不应该认为救赎信仰必然涉及对启示或上帝存在的信仰,因为这种信仰并不“值得拥有”,这表明这种论点从天主教和新教神学的角度来看是可疑的。然后我检查了一些现存的关于天主教信仰价值的描述,承认 Kvanvig 成功地突出了它们的缺陷。因此,我借鉴米兰达弗里克对证词正义的描述,对天主教信仰的价值提供了一个新颖的解释。
