The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a catechism promulgated for the Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II in 1992. It aims to summarise, in book form, what the Catholic Church as a whole believes, celebrates, lives, and prays. Over eight million copies of the book have been sold and it has been translated into and published in more than twenty languages worldwide.
The Baltimore Catechism, republished in 1941, was the official book of Catholic teaching and instruction for children in the United States. It comprises structured lessons about God, the sacraments, and Jesus in a Question and Answer format. An all-encompassing summary of the Catholic faith, The Baltimore Catechism explains what the principles and beliefs of Catholicism are.
