Is there an audiobook for the catechism?

The Catechism helps us answer questions. I think you are approaching this the wrong way. To simply listen to the catechism will likely result in more confusion. It would be better for you to identify the things that you are curious about and go from there.
Why? It’s the “red car” effect. If I tell you before a drive to “watch out for the red car” by the end of the drive you will tell me, “There were SO many red cars out today. I think they were mostly red!!! There has never been so many red cars.”
But that’s not true, you noticed cars that were red because it was on your mind. There were no more or less red cars than there ever were.
It’s the same with reading books straight through like the catechism. You’re going to miss a ton because you don’t know what to look for. However, when you’re “in tune” with a question it will become meaningful for you, and provide you the insight you seek.

you can check here it may not be the best quality and seems to be broken up but you might find a full recordingMight be easier to get through.
Is there a free legal morally okay one to listen to online?

The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults is available in Audible and CD, not to mention book form. It is derived from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), is considered by some to be “more readable,” and I am sure as an audiobook it is much easier to listen to.
I cannot find the CCC itself on audiobook, but that’s just as well because it would be difficult for most of us to follow it by reading or listening straight through.

I also have used the CCC much more. I have both in book form. The CCC is great as a reference for looking up Church teachings. The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults is (for me) not so useful as a lookup reference. I have read some chapters and passages, but have not read it all.I have that on CD but I didn’t listen to alot of it. I like the unversal catechism so much better.
