Decoding the Catechism

Reading the entire “official” Catechism of the Catholic Church from cover to cover would be a monumental project. It’s not exactly breezy beach reading, which is why most people don’t attempt to undertake it alone. That’s where this book comes in.

We’re going to dissect the full Catechism piece by piece, clarifying anything that could be confusing, and explaining beliefs that are, at their essence, beautiful, consistent, and grounded in the teachings of Jesus.

In the first two chapters of this book, we’ll talk about the basics: what the Catechism is and what it is not, where it comes from, how to use it, and what it can mean for you personally. After that, we will begin at square one and work our way through the entire Catechism, one Church teaching at a time.
