Very thorough and comprehensive, but OLD

I think the last edition of this book was from 1931. I like reading through the text, but obviously some things in the Church have changed since 1931, and the book doesn't cover some contemporary issues. It is still thorough and enjoyable reading, although I'm not sure if everything is completely accurate.


the best catholic catechism ever written

This excellent text was written by a proffessor of theology. It is not academic but clearly and easily understood. The author demonstrates why we are here on earth and quotes the bible along with numerous examples from the lives of saints, to prove his points. It explains in exhaustive detail the catechism point by point. This book can't be beat as an introduction to catholic teaching and practice.

Very comprehensive.

Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is the best catechism ever written, it is certainly one of the best. Hundreds of pages covering nearly every topic of interest to lay Catholics. A good reference for clergy too.






Solid, Traditional, and timeless

This is my 3rd favorite Catechism ever written..

The Catechism of the Council of Trent #1
The Baltimore Catechism #2

A previous poster called some things "old" however, this Catechism contains the 100% un-tampered with, uncompromising, TRUTH! Every Catholic should own and READ this....

We live in a day and age when 80% of American Catholics have no idea what Holy Mother Church teaches well; if they all read this Catechism they would, and I daresay it would shock them into realizing that the namby-pamby modernistic "faith" they have does not resemble the beauty and splendor that IS Catholicism!!!

This fantastic book was written for 3 reasons: To serve the preacher as a source book for sermons, the catechist as a thorough explanation of the catechism, and parents as a complete statement of the entire Faith, to assist them in instructing their children. Therefore, the book is not difficult to understand and does not contain technical language. But it is complete, thorough and authoritative! Think of a Catholic subject, look it up in "The Catechism Explained," and there he will find a number of pages explaining this or that aspect of the Faith with a thoroughness that is truly enlightening. Statements are supported with quotes from Scripture and/or the Fathers and Doctors of the Church to reinforce what is being said. The result is an amazing picture of the Catholic Faith, showing its reasonableness, comprehensiveness, beauty and charm - not to mention the challenge it presents to Catholics to live up to its teachings.

First published in 1899, this great book was reprinted in 1921, 1927, 1949 and 1993 - all without change. Fulfills a unique role in Catholic literature. Every Catholic adult should own a copy - whether he be a priest, for his sermon writing; or a catechist, to help him know and teach the Catechism better; or a parent, to help with the instruction of his or her children; or any other person, simply to enable him to know his faith more fully. This book is a tremendous contribution and is greatly needed today! Imprimatur.
