The CCC, like the BC, the CCT, or even the Bible, is a book. It's an inanimate object, a tool.

It has to be used.

By people.

If the people charged with teaching the Faith fail to do so, the fault is theirs; it does not lie with the toolmakers or the tools.

Many (not all) bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and parents have failed in their duty to live and to teach the Faith.

Some tools are more effective and easier to use than others, so they get used more frequently. Some tools are complicated, have too many parts, are too heavy or cumbersome to use so they end up donated to charity, collecting dust in the garage or in the garbage.

We are in complete agreement there.
