Description
Where does the Church stand?
To what truths are Catholics committed?
This short book gives the answer to these questions:
The purpose of a catechism is to present the teaching of the Church in a summarised form, to present it faithfully, and to show how it is rooted in the sacred scriptures and in Christian tradition.
This catechism is designed for the general reader, for older students in our schools and for study groups. Parents should find it helpful also in their God-given role of handing on the faith to their children.
It has been prepared by an expert catechist guided by the Church’s General Catechetical Directory and Pope John Paul’s Catechesis in our Time.
