I’ve been surprised by the wealth of concentrated information in the Catechism, so I though I would share it with all. This is an ecumenical thread for us to learn more from each other minus the antagonism and non-Christian feelings aroused on open threads.
I’ve just finished the rosary and nightly prayers, and then come to read this wonderful thread.
It occurred to me to think of Noah’s flood as the baptism of the earth...I’m sure that isn’t any part of the catechism, and I’ve never heard the idea from anyone before, but the idea of washing and regeneration...if this is inappropriate I’m happy to have it removed.
I remember when the new modern Catechism came out my mother got it in the 1990’s. It brings back memories. We would talk about it. I got mine in paperback. She was a devout christian. She passed on in 1999. Whenever she prayed literally miracles occured for her family. She is my model for a christian witness. Thanks for posting.
