Supernatural Christian Fiction novel advice needed

[WhiteWaterCatholic]

As a Catholic, I am attempting to try my hand at writing a good supernatural Christian fiction novel and am looking for some advice. It's a YA novel with a Christian ecological spin and discusses tricky questions of faith in regards to the paranormal aspect, such as ammortal and immortal souls,the human essence, abstance, the importance of faith in the midst of temptation and uncertainty, and other moral theologies in regards to Catholicism. The story is being told from a Christian perspective and I am trying to use write this novel in a way that the subject matter of the genre is uniquely favorable to presentation of Christian truths. Any advice/insight is appreciated.

If something is to be Christian it can't come from us...it must be by inspiration from the Holy Spirit...otherwise it is just you mixing in some superstition or religious inflection into a man-inspired story.

Ask God about it.

My advice -> don’t do it. Fictionalizing “the real deal” requires speculation and speculation, even if well-intentioned (which is what I think your project is), can easily direct people down the wrong path.

The Gospel of a resurrected Jesus blows fiction out of the water.....sooo, is fiction necessary?

advice/insight is appreciated.

Most people do not understand Christianity, they think one just has to be good to get to heaven and as ' good ' is never specified, it is assumed that everyone gets to heaven.

So keep the 'Christianity' simple, but that will negate your aim of stressing Catholicism.
It'll depend whether you think Christianity or Catholicism is more important as to how you write.
