One of my friends here bought me a Baltimore Catechism at my request when I was received into the Church. I guess I'm a "fuddy-duddy" who isn't "with the times", but I liked the Baltimore Catechism. Crisp, clear, and to the point. No shuck and jive. Ah well, I was a "fuddy-duddy" when I was Anglican, so I guess I brought that over with me. Sigh! :)) How is the Baltimore Catechism different from the one that's on the Vatican's website?

The Baltimore Catechism is not as long as the newer catechism, and many of its answers are shorter and get to the point more quickly. As Dominick put it in comment #11:"scholorship in general uses a lot of extra language to state simple things. Several pages to describe every caveat on a particular topic."
