The Catechism is not supposed to replace liturgy, devotions, or faith formation.
“The Catechism is not supposed to replace liturgy, devotions, or faith formation.”
I would hope not, though in honesty do you think that what passes for liturgy and devotions in most Western Latin parishes doesn’t do more harm than good when it comes to forming true and devoted and understanding members of The Church? Clown Masses, heck, even Masses where the priest sort of makes up the rubrics as he goes along, are destructive; they are obstacles to the formation of a Christian mindset. To substitute a communal, liturgical prayer life with the catechism is likewise destructive, though if the liturgical life has been distorted, as it certainly seems to have been, maybe the catechism is the best tool you have left. But the result won’t be good.
