Catechism means "instruction," and this text will remain the standard reference for Catholics for many future generations. It is the authoritative summary of Catholic belief regarding the Church creeds, sacraments, commandments, and prayers. To get some idea of the level of detail with which the Catechism engages Catholic doctrine, consider that 17 pages of explanation accompany the opening words of the Apostle's Creed ("I Believe in God the Father"). The book is exceptionally well organized, with line-by-line explanations of every conceivable aspect of orthodox Catholic belief. Extensive cross-referencing, indexing, footnotes, and "In Brief" summaries of each section further ease the project of finding the precise answers to any questions a reader might have. Even the layout of information on the page is easy on the eyes, with wide margins for readers who wish to make notes. Furthermore, the back cover features a true rarity in the annals of world literature: a blurb by the Pope. <I>--Michael Joseph Gross</I> 106769 15 4 1995 Catechism of the Catholic Church total:235|5:139|4:32|3:38|2:17|1:9| 235 980 410 29 5 3 false false Wed Feb 06 19:37:05 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 19:40:25 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Fri Mar 14 15:52:46 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 14 15:58:36 -0700 2008 0 2 false false Tue Feb 26 12:07:59 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 12:08:50 -0800 2008 1 1 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 1995 Sun Mar 16 02:43:45 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 03:14:13 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 true false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Oct 28 21:19:56 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 28 21:28:22 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 04:02:46 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 04:04:02 -0700 2007 5 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Dec 06 17:31:51 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 07 17:57:44 -0800 2007 5 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jul 04 09:30:21 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 09:31:35 -0700 2007 And if you have any trouble understanding anything stated, simply look up and read the references. ]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 06 23:45:46 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 23:49:31 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sun Jun 07 22:42:48 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 22:43:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Mon Jul 06 14:56:03 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 14:57:06 -0700 2009 really believe.]]> 5 0 false false Tue Oct 28 11:56:06 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 01 16:58:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Apr 06 20:45:29 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 06 20:47:24 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Wed Mar 12 17:34:44 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 12 17:34:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jan 04 17:57:23 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 18 18:28:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Dec 18 20:44:28 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 20:45:55 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 1969 Thu Jun 12 13:28:15 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 09:43:42 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Mar 24 11:15:00 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 11:15:59 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Mar 13 10:03:57 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 13 10:16:29 -0700 2008
