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.

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

Did you include footnotes, endnotes and reference pages? Perhaps the PDF version is misleading.
