I counted at least 40 or 50 in stacks.

Obamacare is 2,000 pages long. Nancy Pelosi said they had to pass it just to see what was in it.

The Roman Catholic catechism is 3,000 pages long. One would have to spend a few life times to see what was in it fully.

Since your an expert, maybe I should inform you
that the longest page version of the Catechism came about in the 90’s under Pope JPII. They are 750-800 pages depending on how many cross referencing indexes are in the back.

Prior to the 1990’s there was not a contemporary comprehensive Catechism except those that were addressed to children where 50-100 pages would be about it...The Baltimore Catechism.
More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Catechism

The first Catechism of the Catholic Church would be an early first century document known as the Didache/”The Teachings of the 12 Apostles”.
