    • Abstract:
      The catechism of the Catholic Church is a document that attempts to absolutely define the precepts of the Holy Roman Catholic Church in relation to the interpretation of Holy Scripture and adherence to religious tradition, and to establish the limits of lay involvement both liturgical and ministerial. This groundbreaking work is the guidebook for Catholic instruction as well as an invaluable reference for any scholar studying Catholicism or Catholic history. Pope John Paul II recommended a second edition to the original text in 1986 and established a commission headed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger to write a compendium edition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
