With further catechesis comes a deepening of faith and the wisdom and spiritual joy that accompany it. A greater ability to defend the Church and its teachings, now much needed to counter misinformation, moral relativism and lapsation can also be realised.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a true development of doctrine, remarkably synthetic in linking the whole of Catholic belief, worship, morals, and prayer. It is also very instructive, taking care to explain wherever possible not only what we believe, but why and the source of our belief, in scripture, in tradition and in reason.
We have published short extract summaries from the Catechism of the Catholic Church which have been thematically arranged in bite-size chunks that take no more than 10 minutes to read and that you can review, download or print as you wish. The extracts are grouped into a series of ten main themes which are listed below.: –
God’s Revelation and Man’s Response (nine extracts)
God’s Master Plan in Christ (fifteen extracts)
Jesus Christ (sixteen extracts)
The Holy Spirit (seven extracts)
The Church (fifteen extracts)
The Sacraments (thirteen extracts)
Life in Christ (eighteen extracts)
The Ten Commandments (seventeen extracts)
Prayer in the Christian Life (thirteen extracts)
The Lord’s Prayer (six extracts)

From a life of celebrity and privilege, St Philip came to recognise that there could be nothing more important than his relationship with Christ in the community of the Church, and the love of his family, even though he was to be denied meeting with them when imprisoned in the Tower. His witness to the Catholic faith has brought him a different kind of celebrity – not one of worldly privilege, but that of a saint; not one of being served – but one of service.
May the patron of our Diocese intercede for us, as we seek to serve Christ in the mission He has given to us.
Bishop Richard Moth
