I wish I had that. As I remember it, the Latin Mass Missal over the course of 52 weeks would essentially be your Catechism as well.

Religious Instructions would be unnecessary as all the youngsters needed to know could be had by attending Mass.

You CAN buy a Missal like I have from the various Catholic stores online. That's where I got mine.

I beg to differ.
The once-a-week Sunday homily can't make up for a Catholic education, K-12, where DAILY instruction in our faith is part of the curriculum.

I was able to walk into English IA in college BECAUSE of my K-12 Catholic education. I actually KNEW how to read, write and spell.
I taught at the community college level for 27 years and KNOW the TOUGH times public schools students had with reading, writing and spelling.
BONEHEAD English [not to be confused with ESL] USED to be only one or two classes. NOW students come in at the "Dick and Jane" reading and writing level.
VERY sad.
