Reader Reviews
I grew up Catholic, served as an altar boy, followed the sacraments and thought I was a Catholic. I received this as a birthday gift from my parents. While thumbing through it, I had no idea what being a Catholic was. "Catechism of the Catholic Church" -- officially published by the Vatican -- is used by both Protestant and Catholic schools to teach what Catholics believe. The top evangelical college in America (Wheaton College) even uses it for their Catholic theology course. I realized while reading this I had no idea what a Catholic baptism was, what the Catholic Church said about saints, what Rome has to say about Catholics who have converted to another Christian faith. And I learned some things the priest in our Chicagoland parish was not teaching Catholic doctrine. Whether you are Catholic or not, there is a fair chance you've bought into some of what pop-culture has said Catholic is and is not. This easy-to-read (thick, but well-organized) book will give you the Catholic position on the matter. I fully recommend "Catechism of the Catholic Church."
