| | Is the Catechism Dependable? - Good News Ministries |
 | | Unfortunately, this kind of distrust of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is widespread. | | | The new Catechism uses all three sources of divine revelation: It belongs to Sacred Tradition, quotes Sacred Scripture, and bears the authority of the Church Magisterium. | | | Then he says, "Guarding the Deposit of Faith is the mission which the Lord entrusted to His Church." Since the new Catechism is a Deposit of Faith, and since we, the lay people together with the clergy and religious, are the Church, the Holy Father is telling us that it’s OUR responsibility. |

| | The Sabbath in the Catholic Catechism |
| | This Catechism is a compendium of Catholic doctrine and contains 2,865 points which is the official statement of faith of the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | We would also have to conclude that the Catechism is saying that Sunday is the day of worship because as section 2191 says: "The Church celebrates the day of Christ's Resurrection on the "eighth day"" Please notice that no Bible scriptures are given except their reference to Christ’s resurrection. | | | We have looked at the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" (dated 1994) in regards to the "Sabbath" and for the most part we would have to conclude that it is an honest interpretation of what the Bible says regarding the Sabbath. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Catechism |
| | The Catechism has not of course the authority of conciliary definitions or other primary symbols of faith; for, although decreed by the Council, it was only published a year after the Fathers had dispersed, and it consequently lacks a formal conciliary approbation. | | | In the mind of the Church the Catechism, though primarily written for the parish priests, was also intended to give a fixed and stable scheme of instruction to the faithful, especially with regard to the means of grace, so much neglected at the time. | | | The bishops urged in every way the use of the new Catechism; they enjoined its frequent reading, so that all its contents would be committed to memory; they exhorted the priests to discuss parts of it at their meetings, and insisted upon its being used for instructing the people. |

| | Archbishop Hickey Catechism for Australia |
| | The Catechism appears at a time when new spiritualities are circulating, when monism and pantheism are gaining ground again, when we hear that the whole universe, of which we are but a part, is a conscious living unity and that we and God are one. | | | This Catechism appears within the Catholic community at a time of self-questioning, of internal hemorrhage, of dissent from traditional Church teachings and of struggles about Church authority. | | | Pope John Paul II described the aims of the Catechism with great simplicity is to hand down nothing else but "the Catholic Faith that comes to us from the Apostles, to allow the Christian Mystery to be better known, and to revive the faith of God's people". |

| | The second document, the Catechism for the Universal Church, will also be revised according to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and chair of the Papal Commission on the Catechism for the Universal Church. | | | Although the Woodstock scholars felt the draft catechism was fatally flawed, Cardinal Ratzinger said that the text is "widely accepted by the bishops as a possible basis for the elaboration of the definitive text." Bishops proposed about 24,000 amendments to the 434-page text during the consultation process. | | | The cardinal also acknowledged comments on the catechism's treatment of nonChristian religions and said this would be modified while admitting that any attempt to describe the different religions in the catechism would be superficial. |

| | The catechism, which will be the first of its kind in the United States aimed specifically at adults, contains brief biographies of saints and other well-known people of faith, and is meant to be a complement to the universal "Catechism of the Catholic Church" issued in 1992 by Pope John Paul II. | | | Paguio and other Merton scholars are concerned that the Trappist monk was rejected from the final draft not just because of his gender, but in part because of critics who questioned his explorations into Eastern religions at the end of his life. | | | WASHINGTON (CNS) -- A new catechism for adults, currently awaiting Vatican approval, has some scholars up in arms not over the actual text, but over what is missing. |
