Catechism of the Catholic Church (2nd edition)

This second edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church has been revised in accordance with the official Latin text promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1997. It also has been enhanced by the addition of more than 100 pages that feature the following:

• An analytical index translated from the Latin text
• A glossary of terms
• The decree of promulgation of the official Latin text

  The first new compendium of Catholic doctrine regarding faith and morals in more than 400 years, the Catechism of the Catholic Church stands, in the words of Pope John Paul II, as "a sure norm for teaching the faith" and an "authentic reference text."

  This comprehensive volume is a must for every Catholic family. Along with the Bible, this book should form the basis of every catechetical effort. Highly recommended for families using Seton's religion series, and particularly those with high school students. This is the perfect reference book for Catholic families.
