Description

With over 3 million copies sold, this essential resource is a must-read for Catholics from all walks of life. This is the first new Catechism of the Catholic Church in more than 400 years, offering a comprehensive summary of the beliefs shared by Catholics around the world.

Drawing from the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of the saints, the Catechism provides a thorough and structured presentation of the Catholic faith. It includes a complete index, footnotes, and cross-references to provide deeper insight into every topic. The term “catechism” means “instruction,” and this book serves as the foundation for all future catechisms.

Following the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what it celebrates (the Sacraments), how it lives (the Commandments), and how it prays (the Lord’s Prayer), the Catechism of the Catholic Church challenges believers and offers answers to those seeking to understand the Catholic faith. Clear, comprehensive, and relevant, this book serves as a guiding map for spiritual growth and transformation.
