In Laetamur Magnopere, the Apostolic Letter promulgating the Latin Typical edition of the Catechism you dismiss as "poor,", Johannes Paulus Magnus states, "...and confirmsits purpose of being presented as a full, complete exposition of Catholic doctrine, enabling everyone to know what the Church professees, celebrates, lives, and prays in her life...The Church now has at her disposal this new, authoritative exposition of the one and perennial apostolic faith, and it will serves as a "valid and legitimate instrument for ecclessial communion" and as a "sure norm for teaching the faith" as well as a "sure and authentic reference text for preparinfg local catechisms....Through the harmonious and complementary efforts of all the ranks of the People of God, maythis Catechism be known and shared by everyone, so that the unity in faith whose supreme model and origin is found in the Unity of the Trinity may be strengthened and exxtended to the ends of the earth."

The Faithful accept the Universal Catechism as a truthful and legitimate act of the Living Magisterium.

You and your ilk, predictably, don't. Such are the different responses to the Catechcism from those who are united with the Church and those who are schismatic, seperated from the Church Jesus established and who refuse to submit to Divinely-Constituted Authority.
