| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Catechumen |
 | | Catechumens when present at Mass were not dismissed with the inquirers, but were detained while a special prayer was recited over them. | | | "Catechumen," in the early Church, was the name applied to one who had not yet been initiated into the sacred mysteries, but was undergoing a course of preparation for that purpose. | | | At first the candidates were merely signed on the forehead with the sign of the cross, or hands were imposed on them with suitable prayers; and sometimes both ceremonies were used. |

| | CATECHUMEN - LoveToKnow Article on CATECHUMEN |
| | A passage in Augustine seems to imply that in some way they shared in the Sacrament, that which they (the catechumens) receive, though it be not the Body of Christ, is yet an holy thing and, more holy than the common food which sustains us, because it is a Sacrament (De peccatorum meritis, ii. | | | Many scholars hold (and this certainly seems the most natural interpretation) that consecrated bread was taken from the Eucharist and given to the catechumens. | | | Augustines treatise was written at the request of a catechist, named Deogratias, who had asked him for advice. |

| | You play a nameless Catechumen, set forth by an angel to free your imprisoned teacher, all the while "saving" Roman minds from demon infestation. | | | Let's ignore the Bible thumping message of Catechumen, like how collecting power-up scrolls cause actual Bible verses to pop up in the corners of the screen. | | | On your way into the depths of evil, you'll convert Roman soldiers, blast impish demons, and tip over lions. |

| | Review: Catechumen |
| | In an attempt to protect their faith from infiltrators, new converts had to study with a single mentor for a period of one year. | | | For what seems to be at first glance a nonviolent, gore-free, first-person shooter attempting to shove religion down one's throat is actually a well thought-out, addictive game that happens to have religion as its main theme. | | | Known as "Catechumen," these initiates were pivotal in the growth of Christianity. |

| | Catechumen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Essenes were a group of religious and philosofic virtousi, living a utopian life of the sort that would provoke the admiration of Jews and non-Jews alike. | | | In ecclesiology, a catechumen (from Latin catechumenus, Greek κατηχουμενος, instructed) is one receiving instruction in the principles of the Christian religion with a view to baptism. | | | Josephus mentions their three-year catechumenate, their oath of loyalty to the group, their separation from their fellow Jews, their emphasis on on purity and ablutions, but he regards them not as a "sect" but as a pietistic elite." |

| | Your contact with other believers is very limited but soon you will graduate to full fellowship and be welcomed as a true member of the Christian community in Rome. | | | The game is very accessible to non-Christians as it doesn't force you to read any scripture and the interstitials with the angels are not heavy handed. | | | I definitely got the feeling I was heading deeper and deeper into Satan's realm. |

| | "CATECHUMEN"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight |
| | "Catechumen" is a fantasy FPS (first person shooter) just like "Half-Life", only the player is a Christian armed by an angel with Swords of the spirit for weapons. | | | I definitely like getting a scripture when you pick up a health scroll. | | | "Catechumen" has allowed me to play a Christian-in-training and battle during the persecution of ancient Rome. |

| | Catechumen Review - PC |
| | Catechumen is a Christian-based RPG that incorporates Scripture, adventure and intrigue. | | | The warfare involves the use of spiritual weapons, and asks you to run at times instead of fight, and even challenges you to think through where you go and how you approach a situation rather than simply wade into it with weaponry flashing. | | | You must prove your worth in the Colosseum and then take a stand against the evil that waits below, controlling the minds of those above. |

| | When the hero with a in the video game "Catechumen" uses a "sword of the spirit" to vanquish a Roman soldier possessed by demons, a bright light appears and a "Hallelujah" chorus sounds. | | | It's one of a handful of Christian videogames created as clean, Bible-based alternatives to other games. | | | With its lack of violence and gore, "Catechumen" is a far cry from "Doom," "Grand Theft Auto," and other popular video games. |
