U.S. Bishops get Vatican ‘RECOGNITIO’ for Change in Adult Catechism
Adult catechism going into second printing
Newer version clarifies teaching on Jewish covenant
Change approved in summer 2008 by bishops
WASHINGTON —The Vatican has given its “recognitio” to a change in the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, which is set to go into a second printing.

CCC, no 839)
