This book teaches the most important values that every Catholic should know. It has taught me so much more than I used to know before reading this. It presents the book with questions and additions to each lesson which are very easy to understand. These additions comprise a section summarizing important truths pertaining to the subject of the lesson. It also provides two study help sections. This book taught me the true beauty and truth of the Catholic Faith. I would recommend it to any Catholic, young or old. It truly enlightens the reader to more fully appreciate the Catholic Faith and come to understand how beautiful it truly is.

Excellent Textbook! I am enrolled in Seton Home Study School and this was my ninth grade textbook. It was easy to understand and gave you the information that you needed. It does need a little bit of an update, as some things in the Church have changed.

This Baltimore Catechism is the catechism of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, written for Catholic school children in the United States. This volume begins with the traditional prayers (Apostles Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, Glory Be, Acts of Contrition, Love, et cetera). The chapters are broken down in discussing The Ten Commandments, the Sacraments, sins, Laws of the Church, and the like. At the back of this volume are traditional hymns.

This volume is easy to understand, with questions and answers that relate to the particular subject matter in each chapter. This is the catechism to read to learn (or remind oneself) of the true tenants of the Church, not the New Church of Vatican II.

This volume is written for the younger Roman Catholic student; each successive volume (through number 4) is more in-depth and appropriate to the student’s grade level.

I highly recommend this series.

The 1949 Confraternity Edition has a lot of good stuff in it
