People complain a lot about our times. Yet it is these times where the greatest resources possible have ever been available to us in the age of the Church. When else in history has anyone been able to reasonably afford access to a summary of all Catholic teaching for every question asked? We are truly blessed.
I am following the Catechism in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz. We are on day 151 but all the episode are left up so you can start whenever you want. I listen on Spotify but I know it is also on Amazon and many other streaming services. Its been really helpful to have this guided reading and deeper dive into our faith.
I study both the Catechism of the Council of Trent and the modern Catechism of the Catholic Church. TAN books has recently republished Fr. Spirago's classic explanation of the Trent Catechism for lay people with footnote to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I may purchase this updated edition of Fr. Spirago's classic reference. In fact, one could get the TAN update of Fr. Spirago's book without buying the Roman Catechism, and use Spirago to go more in depth into the CCC. I have the Kindle edition of Fr. Spirago, but it unfortunately does not have the references to the CCC, which I need because the CCC is really the starting point. Thanks for making a video recommending the CCC. I agree with the other commenter that a Bible, the CCC, and a rosary are three essentials for Catholic devotions.
Along with the Bible and a Rosary, the Catechism is one those things every practicing Catholic doesn't have an excuse for not owning (unless you're blind or illiterate). I try and read at least 10 paragraphs from the Catechism every day. The USCCB has a complete digital copy of the Catechism on their website, free to anyone with an internet connection. We're truly blessed to have such a comprehensive resource so readily available to us, both digitally and in print.
Just stumbled onto your channel. Great! Thank you! I agree, every Catholic should own a Catechism, preferably both a paperback and e-book for quick reference!
@@ConvincedCatholicism not at all. There is simply no sense in which that is true even figuratively. Doctrine continues to develop and the Church continues to grow in Her understanding of the gospel and to eliminate past Caesaropapist compromises with paganism. There is no basis for the presumption that the Church's understanding of the deposit of faith has fully matured, let alone reached the greatest peak it will have attained by the parousia. I know you trads hate doctrinal development and I am sorry about that, because it is not only still happening, it is, quite fittingly, accelerating commensurate with the accelerated increase in the speed of humanity's ability to communicate.
Just bought one because of you
Let's pray 7 Hail Mary for the conversion and salvation of all Christians

That is a great point. Most people in the world now can access the CCC they have access to a computer
I've had a few versions in my life, but recently got the Ascension Press Catechism and it is wonderful.
I will have to check it out
I think its perfect for just sitting and reading and you wont be bored cause it's so beautiful. I use it that way more than to look things up.
Glad to hear you get so much enjoyment out of it

Thats good to hear!

Its actually Fr. Spriago. Automiscorrect strikes again! 🙂
@@AmericanShia786You were right first time, it's Spirago: Fr. Francis Spirago. I have the Kindle version too. It's excellent.
Sounds like a good recommendation. I will be sure to give it a look
I stand corrected. I now own the TAN edition with references to the CCC, so I won't make that mistake again. 😁

I am glad you have that devotion to the catechism. God bless you!
Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the donation

Thanks for watching!
I have the pocket sized white hard cover version
nice!
I have a copy on my Kindle and I really need to read it more often. Thanks for the tutorial.
God bless
Wondering if I can send you a free copy of my latest book for a review?
What is the name of the book?
Do I have to have a physical hard copy or can it a spiritual digital copy?
It’s available free online
The catechism of St. Pius X has none of the weaponised ambiguity in the version you are promoting.
Is that the same as the Baltimore Catechism?
Can you point to examples of this "weaponised ambiguity"?
The Catechism of St Pius X is no longer valid or particularly useful for exactly the reason you prefer it.
"A faith that has figured everything under the sun out"??
That's a completely absurd statement.
I guess figures of speech are lost on you
