Apparently apostate Thomas Merton got dropped from the adult catechism....guess they just want to stay with dissenters who stayed within the church.

Not only Cesar Chavez and Dorothy Day...but Cardinal Bernadin, sodmoite and satan worshipper, gets big time play.

Also, the Vatican is pumping out their own adult catechism...it'll be interesting to note the contradictions between the two.

Ultimately...it'll be Baltimore for the kids, Council of Trent for me ...and I'll keep the CCC revision 1 around to see what the modernist homosexuals think.

I think you are very much in error about the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The format is not good ,in my opinion,there are also a couple of areas where I think it is ambiguous.

But overall it is an attestation of the teachings on dogma,faith and morals,of the One,Holy,Catholic and Apostolic Church that Christ established to bring us home to the Father. It connects the Church to Christ over 2000 years.

I use as a proof of it's truth and value,the fact that the Amchurch catechists and instructors recoil in horror if one attends their classes and brings the Catechism with them. They recognize that what they are intending to teach is not authentic Catholicism and they do not want source documents in the classrroom that will demonstrate their errors.

I am in total agreement with you on Bernardin,the inclusion of that man is a crime and a sin.

You do know that the "progressive,modernist,liberal,marxists" are 100% behind the publication of an american catechism because the CCC does promulgate Truth which is the last thing they want. That is why it is so tragic that the opposite end of the Catholic spectrum,"traditional,orthodox,conservative" Catholics bicker with one another rather than uniting to overcome the evil being perpetrated by those within the Church that lie as they seek to destroy the Church Christ established on earth to bring us home.

122. Q. Which are the attributes of the Church?

A. The attributes of the Church are three: authority, infallibility, and indefectibility.

123. Q. What do you mean by the authority of the Church?

A. By the authority of the Church I mean the right and power which the Pope and the bishops, as the successors of the Apostles, have to teach and govern the faithful. Authority is the power which one person has over another, so as to be able to exact obedience. A teacher has authority over his scholars, because they must obey him; but the teacher need not obey the scholars, because they have no authority over him. God alone has authority of Himself and from Himself All others who have authority receive it from God, either directly or through someone else. The Pope has authority from God Himself, and the priests get theirs through their bishops. Therefore, to resist or disobey lawful authority is to resist and disobey God Himself.

*I don't think the Baltimore Catechism is for you :)
