About this book

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a comprehensive summary of Catholic beliefs worldwide. It draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints. The text includes a complete index, footnotes, and cross-references. Organized around four traditional elements—the Creed (what the Church believes), the Sacraments (what she celebrates), the Commandments (what she lives), and the Lord's Prayer (what she prays)—the Catechism presents Church teaching and addresses questions for those learning about Catholic faith. This updated second edition serves as a reference for Catholics and those interested in understanding Catholic doctrine.
