Exactly. It is so well done. It was a big part of my path to the True Church.

As a new Catholic in the early 90’s, I read the first English version of the CCC before I was exposed to the Baltimore Catechism. However, the B.C. structure laid out key doctrines so clearly, with Scripture references, that I just loved it when I saw it. (The Presbyterian Catechism probably came in a “reference” version, but we learned it from mimeographed sheets made by a Navy Chaplain who was an old-school Calvinist :-)

None of my children has ever been misled by the illustrations, which I admit are not necessarily helpful. There was a lot of Catholic Twaddle in the 40’s, or whenever the currently reprinted versions were new.

I taught a class on angels and Purgatory to a 5th grade group a few years ago, because they were so interested in the concepts but had no idea of the authoritative teachings. They loved it.
