The Baronius Press Edition is based on the 1923 translation by Domincan Fathers Callan and McHugh.
 
Then what I was quoting was from their introduction where they claim to have translated it from the 1858 edition.
 
It looks like mine is as well.
This translation, prepared and published by John A. McHugh, O.P. and Charles J. Callan, O.P. in 1923 (and now in the public domain),is based on the Manutian text as reflected in the Maredsous edition of 1902, the fourth Roman edition of 1907, and the Turin edition of 1914.

I’m reading it because I think it’s important As Catholics we know our history more importantly I want to see the difference between a pre-Vatican II and post-Vatican II catechism. I want to know what was passed down to our history. That to me is the best way to make sure that I am practicing the faith properly.I don’t believe that the Council of Trent catechism was changed I’m more interested in the comparisons pre-Vatican II versus post-Vatican II. I would definitely encourage people to read it

Church doctrine does not change so I assume the only differences would be the way doctrines are explained.
 
I think there’s some element of difference in the idea of “the universal destination of goods” -vs- theft, if I recall. Between Trent catechism and current one, at least in the way this is explained.

Was there an. earlier but universal, comprehensive catechism that this Catechism replaced?

Why the suspicions raised because someone wants to read the Catechism of the Council of Trent?

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? I love my Catechism of Trent. It is thorough but easy to understand.

I read the Catechism of Trent. It is easy to read and understand. It is not as long as our modern catechism and the modern catechism that we have today and most other catechisms are based off of the Catechism of Trent. The Catechism of Trent is based off of the Council of Trent. The Council of Trent and the great catechism that came from it are all still part of our Catholic faith. Pope Benedict the XVI called it the most important catechism.
