THE CATECHISM of the CATHOLIC CHURCH

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)

Life in Christ (eighteen extracts)
The Ten Commandments (seventeen extracts)
Prayer in the Christian Life (thirteen extracts)

Thought for the week

The Kingdom of God grows like a seed in the ground, and the women and men of today, even when seemingly overwhelmed by so many other things, still yearn for a greater truth; they search for a fuller meaning for their lives, desire justice, and carry within themselves a longing for eternal life.

Pope Leo XIV
