Catechism of the Catholic Church-Complete and Updated Paperback – January 1, 1995

I was instructed to purchase the Catechism of the Catholic Church for my RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes, and I’m so glad I did. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone learning about or deepening their understanding of the Catholic faith. It provides clear, comprehensive explanations of Catholic teachings, beliefs, and practices, making it a great reference for both newcomers and those who wish to explore the faith more deeply.The Catechism is well-organized, allowing for easy navigation and study. Whether you're a beginner or someone who's been in the Church for years, this book offers valuable insights that are both educational and spiritually enriching. It has been a key tool in my RCIA journey, providing clarity on complex topics in a way that is accessible and thorough.If you’re involved in RCIA or simply looking to strengthen your knowledge of Catholicism, this book is an essential guide. Highly recommended!

All inclusive book about the Catholic Church! Excellent resource for someone trying to improve their knowledge.

Overall this is a nice book for anyone interested in Catholicism. It's loaded with matters on how Catholics adhere to our Faith -- even lifelong Catholics like myself!

Joining the church spring 2025 and this helps with quick reference if you ever have questions. I realize there's a new version, but the price on this was wonderful for a shelf book and I do end up reaching for it more than I thought I would. I use it quite often when my kids ask random questions about the church that I'm not sure exactly how to reword what I'm thinking in my brain!

Great book, my parents had this book and recently I saw it at a Catholic church, they had a stack of these books for anyone interested in studying the Catholic faith. I bought the book on Amazon and am impressed with all the information contain within the pages. It lists just about everything you need to know about Catholics. The only drawback I have is that the printing is small and it's hard for me to read (I've recently had eye problems), that's my only issue. But if it were large print the book would be huge. Anyway, I do recommend this book.

Every Catholic should have TWO of these! One for their personal reference and one to give away at a moment's notice to someone who has questions about our Catholic faith! Every catechumen should receive one of these, if not by their catechist then by their sponsor.If you're planning on using Scott Hahn's new Ignatius Study Bible, this is a critical companion to have for your Bible Study activities.

It is exactly what I expected except for the very small text. This is fine for some people, but I definitely need to use readers to read this book. I do appreciate that the book is small; but the small size of the book means the text size has to be small too!

Great Book and Great Price
