I could have never, ever imagined what I'd find. Reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church was like nothing I'd ever experienced. This was truth. I knew it. I'd finally found it. It described God, our relationship to him, the Bible, Jesus, moral truths -- the entire human experience -- in a way that resonated on a deep level.
Funny, reading the catechism had the opposite effect on me. It was a dead document that provided more questions than answers and drove me to read the bible. The bible, being the Very Word Of God, was life transforming for me.
I realize now that God had illuminated my mind to understand His Word and His "Good News". I shortly there after gave My Life to Christ believing by Grace alone, thru Faith alone, in Christ alone.
Good for you. The Bible is the gold standard for us Catholics. The Catechism only hold the defined doctrines of the faith and aids just like a pastor/preacher/bible study class aids.
