Catechism of the Catholic Church: Updated Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798217156313)

A clear and comprehensive exposition of Christian doctrine―essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the teachings of the Catholic Church

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the complete summary of what Catholics around the world commonly believe.

The Catechism draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints. It comes with detailed footnotes, a comprehensive index, and cross-references for a fuller understanding of every subject.

By explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the Catechism not only offers answers for those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith, but also deepens the understanding of those who already believe.

This updated second edition includes the 2018 revision of section 2267, promulgated by Pope Francis, plus an extensive glossary of terms. It also contains these indexes:

- Scripture references
- ecclesiastical documents
- authoritative writers in the tradition
- a broad range of topics

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a positive, coherent, and timeless map for the Christian's spiritual journey toward transformation.
