A side by side comparison is what it is.
All else is obfuscations, denial, and smoke.

Right here, buddy: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/command.htm There’s your side-by-side - all in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

And what I posted earlier is irrefutable. If you’re going to suggest the Traditional Catechetical Formula was created by the Catholic Church because Catholics have lots of images, then you logically have to deal with the following facts or questions:

1) Why then don’t the Eastern Orthodox have a similar Traditional Catechetical Formula when they too VENERATE IMAGES?

2) If St. Augustine came up with the order used in the Traditional Catechetical Formula why would anyone but a moron say it was “the Vatican” who came up with it? Oh, and when did that happen exactly? Who was pope then? Oh, that’s right you’re putting forward a myth so those questions can’t be answered.

3) If someone was trying to hide something why on earth would they publish it in the Catechism of the Catholic Church when it is used in high schools, colleges, parish classes, seminary classes, and is easily found online for free by anyone? I just looked online and according to the website I’ll link to (unlike you in your post) between 1997 and 2012 the “USCCB alone having sold more than 988,000 print copies of the second edition.” http://www.usccb.org/news/2012/12-107.cfm
