Catechetical Teachings

“The specific character of catechesis, as distinct from the initial conversion-bringing proclamation of the Gospel, has the twofold objective of maturing the initial faith and of educating the true disciple of Christ by means of a deeper and more systematic knowledge of the person and message of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Pope John Paul II, On Catechesis in Our Time [Catechesi Tradendae [CT] [Washington, DC: USCCB, 1979], no. 19).
