5.0 out of 5 stars **THE** official catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, January 30, 1998
By A Customer
Written by the Vatican and translated by the Vatican as the official, most complete answer to "What are Catholics to believe?" short of visiting the Vatican itself and conducting interviews with Vatican officials. Written in modern English, it is very readable cover to cover or as a reference manual. The only aspect of this work which mars it from a perfect 10 rating in my opinion is the fact that it is not simply one volume in a multivolume set, where these other hypothetical volume(s) would delve into apologetic biblical/historical evidence supporting each Catholic belief and explaining away Protestant objections to Catholic beliefs. This book exhaustively answers "What do Catholics believe?" but not "And why do they believe that?" nor "And why don't they believe these Protestant beliefs?"

As a practicing Latin Rite Roman Catholic, I refer to this book all the time. I would consider the book useful to non-Catholics as well, who want to learn precisely what Catholics believe, straight from the horse's mouth: the Vatican, which is the custodian and focal point of all statements, decisions, and publications of Roman Catholic bishops worldwide (who are believed to be, by Catholics, successors of the 11 apostles---minus Judas---after Christ's resurrection and who are the modern day apostles). All other cathecisms are knock-offs and immitations of this official Vatican publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamental to raising a Catholic family, March 10, 1998
By A Customer

"Dad, what HAPPENS when you go to cofession?" "Do dogs have souls?" "What about capital punishment?" "My friends say evolution is wrong. What does the Church teach?"

Answers to these and hundreds of other questions your kids (or you) are likely to ask while you try to raise them in the faith are answered here. And, they are good answers ... ones that just about anybody can understand.

An great book, essential for answering the tough questions your kids come up with in between dinner and bedtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, December 22, 2007
By Robert B. Makinson "Robert B. Makinson" (Brooklyn New York United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Comprehensive book of catholic teachings. The rhetoric is powerful as is the moral message. For example, in the section on Conscience we read: "Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment....For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God....His conscience is man's most secret core and his sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths." All aspects of catholic teaching are clearly explained, and a summary is given at the end of each section. It is a good education for catholics and non-catholics.
