Ilustration Toward Books Catechism of the Catholic Church
Here it is -- the first new Catechism of the Catholic Church in more than 400 years, a complete summary of what Catholic throughout the world believe in common. This book is the catechism (the word means "instruction") that will serve as the standarad for all future catechisms.The Catechism draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints. It comes with a complete index, footnotes and cross-references for a fuller understanding of every subject. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith. Here is a positive, coherent and contemporary map for our spiritual journey toward transformation.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is, as Pope John Paul II calls it, "a special gift."

Yes, as a baptist I read the Catholic catechism. I wanted to read what the Catholic church said rather than get it from others. There are some portions that are very, very good. The section on the Apostle's Creed, Life in Christ, and the section are prayer.Of course, there are things that I disagree with, but I can also say that many things I have been told Catholics believe did not come through in their catechism.This book will probably be on my currently reading list forever for two reasons. first because it is an invaluable tool for my formation and maturing in my faith....secondly, I can't figure out how to add shelves..LOLgoing to finish it this year in the Year of FAith!!
They did it.The Catholic Church has created a marvelous book that just barely summarizes all of its teachings and official dogma from 2000 years of debate and refinement in such a beautiful way that renews my faith on the spot. Since I'm familiar with a lot of the topics from extensive research(but know that I'm still very much an amature regarding theology and philosophy), I can honestly say I was even more fascinated how every page resonated with the entire history of theological Christendom
Want to know what Catholics believe? Read the Catechism. And if you have any trouble understanding anything stated, simply look up and read the references.
An absolute read for every Catholic and anyone wanting to know what the Catholic Church actually teaches. Don't take your information from television, the newspaper, your neighbour or even another Catholic to start with. If you want the real, honest teaching, look it up here. I've dabbled in the Catechism many times, looking things up and following rabbit trails. However, I read the Catechism from start to finish using a schedule during the entire year of 2013. Brief readings every single day,
So what do I think about the Catechism of the Catholic Church?Might as well ask, 'What do I think about the Bible?'The CCC can be called the 'Bible' of the Roman Catholic Church. It is divided into four parts:1) The Creed, which was written at the Council of Jerusalem in 50 AD. Any Christian should know it by heart, "We believe in God ..." But few Christians fully understand what they are professing. Part one reaffirms the intention that has not changed for two thousand years.2) The Sacraments
