Four centuries in the making, a monumental undertaking and a magnificent achievement, this is the first definitive Catholic Catechism since the Council of Trent in 1566. It details the doctrine, dogma, and the basic tenets of the Church. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes, what she celebrates, what she lives and what she prays, the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith.
