Catechism of the Council of Trent

Excellent teaching of Catholic Faith!!!

It is exactly as described. I love the size and look of it. The hard cover is a big plus especially for the price. I have started reading it and am enjoying it. It is very informative and I appreciate the history behind its making which was described in the Introduction. The text very clearly printed. It is by no means large font but it is definitely readable and works very well for me. I love the book and would recommend it.

There are many different printings of this catechism, but this is the one Taylor Marshall recommended. It’s beautifully printed, bound and laid out. There is an extensive index, which you very much need to help find specific content. Following the introductory material, the catechism reveals inner truths behind every word of The Creed, goes until extreme detail about the Sacraments and 10 Commandments (far more than you’d ever think to ask), and explains the meaning and relevance every word in the Lord’s Prayer. It’s essential reading for Catholics wanting a real grounding in the Faith.

A solid Catechism for a modern age where most Catholics are confused. The Catechism of Trent is a response to the Protestant reformation of the 16th century. As such, it will serve as a lens and tool to root out heresies not only in the Church, but also abroad. Beware of the liberal new-age movement in this era, you who are new to the faith. You are stepping into a battlefield - better to be informed than to fall into a pit. Keep praying your Rosary, too, traditional Catholics! Ave Maria.

I'm just about 100 pages into the 550 pages and I am relishing a careful read of this book. The point of view is that it is aimed at the "pastors" of souls for explaining the faith. I suspect that it was written at a time when literacy was not all that common and learning was done mostly by rote instruction. It is edifying to read how the same faith was taught for hundreds of years after its publication. The scripture references at the time were to the Douay-Rheims Bible. I have a copy of the DRB on my Kindle and also on my smart phone. The DRB is a "translation of a translation" -- original language to Latin (by St Jerome) and then to English. Some verses make way more sense in the DRB than in the NAB, for example.

The book came quickly and was packaged so that there were no dents or marks. Thank you for a wonderful book.

Recommend to anyone going into the Catholic Church and a must have for a Catholic family bookshelf.

After studying 12 years in Catholic school, Catholic teaching is embedded in my brain; I just assumed the sisters taught it to us by memory and our religion books, but now I see this was their reference. If you really want to know your faith this is your source. The new catechism is all over the place and although it contains many truths and good information, it is not formatted to easily learn from it. The catechism of the Council of Trent is Catholicism straight to the point with no gimmicks.

I am reading this Catechism cover to cover. It gives in depth theology, leaving nothing important out, yet it is easy to read and understand. It covers more than recent catechisms and covers all aspects in meticulous detail.

if you are after a catechism this is the one you want, great pick by me, and really pleased, got it for the wife

Fantastic! Fast delivery.
