"The project of a catechism restoration on behalf of Tradivox will surely be of great benefit not only to many confused and disoriented Catholic faithful but also to all people who are sincerely seeking the ultimate and authentic truth about God and man, which one can find only in the Catholic and apostolic Faith, the only religion and Faith willed by God and to which God calls all men." +Bishop Athanasius Schneider, O.R.C.

Throughout the history of the Church, many catechisms were issued to make the teachings of the Faith accessible to the people of a particular region at a particular time. These invaluable works live on, continuing to share the timeless truths of Catholicism in a relatable manner with the faithful of today.

This precious compendium features: Fr. Peter Geiermann's The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1910), an immensely popular catechism for instructing adults and converts and clarifying basic tenets of the Faith; Catechism for First Communicants (1911), a wonderful question-and-answer tool that prepared children of the early twentieth century to understand Church teachings that many Catholics of today have forgotten; and Canon Henry Cafferata's The Catechism Simply Explained (1897), one of the most successful "short catechisms" for instructing the "spiritual" but not "religious" in the truths of the Church.

Readers will recall the power and simplicity of the Baltimore Catechism in this volume's format while also appreciating the myriad of other questions this work addresses. In this keepsake they will also value:

The reliable synthesis of faith and morals The reasons given for hope and for how we worship The concise yet comprehensive teachings on the sacraments The reflections on the Ten Commandments and the precepts of the Church The continuity of Catholic doctrine across time and space The collection of traditional Catholic prayers

Whether you are a believer or looking to learn more about the Faith, these straightforward and power-packed works touch on key aspects of doctrine and provide a trusted guidepost on growing in the spiritual life.
