Regardless of one's opinions of the official Catechism of the Catholic Church, this Amchurch deconstruction of our faith's teachings is sure to make interesting reading. Or perhaps best suited for the lining of the bottom of a bird cage. For it is not going to be of any help to a propsective convert, nor to adults or youths who wish to learn more about their faith.

Best thing is to just stick with the Baltimore Catechism. No heresy or liberal, modernist, sodomite-coddling "nuancing" there.

Do they plan to use this dreck in ALL the RCIA classes?

On the contrary, it will be very useful.

When was "Fr. Moderator" ordained? Or is he ordained?

Perhaps Fr. Moderator would like to produce evidence that Wuerl had to "go back to school." Nobody who knows him is aware of that.

I just ignore the USCCB like faithful Roman Catholics should. It is not part of the magesterium, just a collection of 60s and 70s era wreckage.

And why wouldn't it be defective? The bishops and cardinals on the writing committee admitted that they were incompetent to read the seminal documents of the Faith in their original languages. How can any book pretend to be a catechism when the Newchurch officials can't even read the text of St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, St. Gregory the Great, St. Anselm, St. Albertus Magnus, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, St. Alphonus, and so many others?

I would have never really thought of this aspect of it, due to my own ignorance, but it's huge. My goodness what a gift it is to have a Pastor aware of what he needs to make his sheep aware of.

This is going to only continue to deteriorate though, because I can't imagine the Church is going to produce enough language scholars to be able to read these works in their original language. Or is that something that is being concentrated on in some of the more conservative or better seminaries?

Wonder what they're teaching prospective Priests at Ave Maria. The Dean at that School (Florida location), as Pio said, has got it going on, big time and major league.

The USCCB has NO authority in the matter, the document will require review & approval in Rome to be truly authentic.

The new version of the Catechism isn't nearly as bad as the Amchurch deconstruction will probably be.
Check this for a "Catechism"...
