Who wrote that and when was it written?

It's a link to the Catechism of the Catholic Church 80-87 can also be found here:

What I'm wondering is if you know who wrote it and when. Like have you scrutinized it, or do you just go along with it?

Is that not like seeing a movie rather than reading the book?

The person in charge was a Biblical scholar who later become Pope Benedict. I don't personally know any of the seven bishops that compiled the Catechism. They sent drafts to all of the bishops and the major Catholic institutes and universities and in response received 24,000 suggestions. I have looked up a number of footnotes, it may be references to the Bible or Church fathers. If you have a good solid understanding of the Bible it is very helpful in understanding the statements.
