Catechism of the Catholic Church

Updated Catechism of the Catholic Church

Here are the essential elements of our faith presented in the most understandable manner, enabling everyone to read and know what the Church professes, celebrates, lives, and prays.

This second edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church has been revised in accordance with the official Latin text promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1997. It also has been enhanced by the addition of more than 100 pages that feature an analytical index translated from the Latin text and a glossary of terms.

The official Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly spells out the Church's beliefs on:
•    Love and marriage
•    Children
•    God, creation, humanity, life, death, and the afterlife
•    Mary, the Church, the saints, and the sacraments
•    And much, much more.
