I think @BartholomewB was talking about an index in the print copies that does not appear with the online copy. I am pretty sure he did not mean this index of footnotes.

Thank you, @Dovekin. Yes, that is exactly what I meant!
 
Congratulations on your discovery! Thank you for the link. Now I will be able to make more use of the online CCC, instead of my print copy.
 
About whether or not Catholics regard the Catechism as equal with the Bible.

? I didn’t ask that question. Or any other question. Perhaps you have confused my post with others on the thread.

Thank you and you are welcome.

and thank to those on this thread I understand how to use the Catechism, learned that every church as a Catechism (found the Lutheran one) and that so far… some of things I read about the Catholic church is not much different from what is in the Lutheran church. (sad the 2 church are still separated, when some of their teachings are so similar.)

God Bless those in charge. 🙂

You probably remember this, three years ago. The Pope attended a Lutheran gathering in Lund, Sweden, to commemorate the Protestant Reformation.

ehhh… well, 3 years ago… I wasn’t exactly in any church or do much of anything other then “Yea God, I love you, you love me, we’ll talk when I get up there.”
 
Although I’m not Catholic and have been known to make mistakes (just ask my wife), I think of the Catechism as kind of like an owner’s manual of the Catholic faith where the faith is explained in more detail in light of the Bible and the Tradition of the Church.

At least that is the feeling I get when I view it from time to time. I’m impressed by it and find it to be a helpful and insightful in understanding Catholicism.

God Bless you and thank you for the link… I started watching the video on the signing of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification how that was a very interesting major milestone.

Maybe one day people will stop looking at me like I have 2 heads when I say I attend a Lutheran and a Catholic service ever Sunday.

thanks again. 🙂

From what I understood, the doctrine specifically hasn’t changed, just an understanding of it removes the condemnation of the Lutheran understanding, so the Catechism about Justification should not change… right?

Yes, I think so too.

why can’t you just say, yes or no to the question… is Jesus Christ the core to the Catholic faith, isn’t it a simple yes or no question?

I don’t speak simply… 😃 I’m pleased with the answers I’ve given.

Not really, not for what I’m trying to understand as to the Catholic’s definition to the what is the core of the Catholic faith… but other’s explained in a way that gave me an idea of what it is.

this part
(1) to bring the light of Christ to all men, a light brightly visible on the countenance of the Church. sounds like the Church is man…

this part…
(2) He planned to assemble in the holy Church all those who would believe in Christ. Already from the beginning of the world the foreshadowing of the Church took place. sounds like the Church is God.

this part…
(3) All men are called to this union with Christ, who is the light of the world, from whom we go forth, through whom we live, and toward whom our whole life strains. this sound like the Church is a unity of God and man.

I only took a line from each paragraph, cause that is what showed how I understood each paragraph… but basically #1 is man, #2 is God and #3 is God and man united… is the Church.

So… What do you think you’ve learned from others?

Did you happen to notice when I’d said - Jesus is the Head of THE CHURCH?

And also - when I’d said - I’ve often also said - Jesus is the Core. ?

No I’m sorry I did miss that part, but yes that is what I learned from others.

I got the Apostles Creed from @hope and a list from @Dovekin… all things that are centered around God, Jesus Christ… like the Ten Commandments (not the movie) 😉
