This is the version I have and I find it user friendly. Just make sure you have someone show you how the numbering and indexing works. It was gifted to me while I was in RCIA four years ago.
Isn’t it outdated now?The Catechism of the Council of Trent
Outdated? Are you being serious?Isn’t it outdated now?
The gold standard is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Trent may be useful but it is not the gold standard.The Catechism of the Council of Trent
The Catechism of 1566 was written for clergy, not laity, and laity were not intended or encouraged to read it.Are you seriously telling me that a Catechism from 1566 contains everything the Catholic laity need to know?
The Catholic faith does not evolve. We are different from the Mormon faith. We have a deposit of faith. It does not evolve. Maybe “evolve” was not the word you were seeking.Look at my profile, dude. I’m Catholic as they come.
Heck, the very mass has changed since then. Are you seriously telling me that a Catechism from 1566 contains everything the Catholic laity need to know?
A Catechism is only as good as teaching the faith to that person clearly. Trent offers clarity and is extremely easy to read. Faithful Catholics can use whichever Catechism they prefer; it is their duty to know the faith.The gold standard is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Trent may be useful but it is not the gold standard.
This is false. Have you read The Catechism of the Council of Trent? Most haven’t, but it is extremely clear and easy to understand. If you are saying that the clarity and format of CCC is easier than Trent, then it is clear you have never opened Trent.The Catechism of 1566 was written for clergy, not laity, and laity were not intended or encouraged to read it.
Many modern teachings may not be contained in the Catechism of Trent. We have added much understanding since then.The Catholic faith does not evolve. We are different from the Mormon faith. We have a deposit of faith. It does not evolve. Maybe “evolve” was not the word you were seeking.
Yes there are some more thorough explanations for some things, this is true. I can refer to CCC online to review those when I come across them. However, these things are not revelation. If one was versed in Trent, these things would fall into place.Many modern teachings may not be contained in the Catechism of Trent. We have added much understanding since then.
Maybe many of Shepards were feeding their flock so the laity didn’t have to read it? When I hear about climate change and not a word of mortal sin, state of grace, sacrilege, etc., aren’t I kind of forced to read it to know the faith?The Catechism of 1566 was written for clergy, not laity, and laity were not intended or encouraged to read it.
The Gold Standard actually is Trent. It is what every other Catechism was written and will be.The gold standard is the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Trent may be useful but it is not the gold standard.
That is your opinion only.The Gold Standard actually is Trent. It is what every other Catechism was written and will be.
Not an official Catechism of the Church.The Catechism of the Council of Trent
Completely false. There is not one thing in the Catechism of Trent that any theologian would rebuke, not one single thing. You do realize that a lot of CCC came word for word from Trent. Trent is the Gold Standard.Not an official Catechism of the Church.
OP, don’t be confused by posts like this. The Catechism is the one on the Vatican website that everybody has been posting to you. There’s always somebody who will come in pushing some very old catechism, usually with an agenda of proving that the current one is no good or that the current Popes don’t know what they’re doing.
Pretty judgemental of you. Does Trent teach you that?Some people do not like Trent because the wording is crystal clear and cuts like a knife. Some would prefer gray area so they can hope that things “evolve” like one user used that word. The deposit of faith does not evolve.
