Summary
“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.

Cardinal Peter Gasparri, once a papal candidate, was perhaps the most influential theologian of his time. At the request of Pope St. Pius X, he authored the first major Code of Canon Law in Church history, and then followed it with one of the greatest single-volume compendiums of Catholic doctrine ever written.
This immensely popular catechism is back in print for the first time in almost a century as part of the monumental Tradivox series. In every way meriting its auspicious title of “The Catholic Catechism,” this acclaimed work offers an extensive and logical explanation of the Faith, masterfully arraying the teachings of the Church in three learning levels: to prepare children for Holy Communion, to instruct older children in the catechism, and to offer formation for adults by enriching their understanding of Church teachings.
This resource was designed not only to help individuals deepen their faith but also for widespread use by catechists in the universal Church. It was rapidly translated into multiple languages after its release and was widely expected to be adopted as the Vatican’s “universal catechism.”
In this treasured volume, His Eminence explains the purpose of the catechism—to stir up men’s hearts and help them lead moral lives in harmony with divine truth. To this end, he includes detailed footnotes that provide teachers with scriptural and practical examples of truths of the Faith to share with their students, along with recommendations on how to live these teachings in daily life.
As you absorb the Church’s fundamental teachings in these evergreen pages, you will find:
- Clear and accessible definitions of core theological terms
- Detailed descriptions of the sacraments and their power in effecting grace
- Reflections on the meaning of traditional prayers and related themes
- Practical instructions on leading a life of virtue and overcoming temptation
- Answers to disputed questions touched on in the catechism
- Explanations of the Church’s social and moral teachings
Also included are numerous biblical and primary sources, saints’ writings, extensive excerpts from important Church documents, and thorough appendices for easy referencing and further exploration.
