I was just about to when the Mod intervened so I will desist.

not really a mod you know, just the OP who went and found a hat to hang on his post.

So now people can't just read and get proper interpretation of the catechism either? Maybe you'd like to cite one of my faulty interpretations?

Hi stz. You have already given your view and most of us here know where you stand in relation to the CC.

I would like to hear from others.

So long then LLOJ.

It's a nice hat though - and a big one.

Probably got big boots to match at the other end!.

I've studied every single word of it. All 800 pages.

Some comments:

That makes me want to ask if any other non/ex-RC here has read thru all 800 pages.

What are the views of non-RCs of the Catechism of the CC? Just curious. Thanks

I am thinking that you are not asking x-catholics . ( that usually follows the expected way of such threads )

So , I will not write anything now .

For the most part, pointless.

A short summary of the faith is useful, but an 800 page document to tell you what scripture means has no advantages over scripture itself.

One has replaced a narrative with propositional statements and therefore produced something that is less good for teaching and further from the original truth.

To be honest I have no time for catechims and confessions at all - if you can't fit your fundamental statements of belief into your liturgy you've let them get out of control.

Oooops. Thanks for bringing that up.
I edited the OP to include ex-RCs.

I should do, but it's not the most appealing task.

Maybe you should ask how many of the Catholics here have done so, as well as looked up and studied very single one of the Scriptural references (not taht there are that many).

the Westminster Larger Catechism is 50+ pages with Scripture proofs.
196 Questions, standard catechismal format.

I'm an ex-Catholic btw...and I've read an older edition of the Catholic Catechism. It's very interesting.

Ok . Thanks I was thinking you wanted opinions of those untouched by the group itself .

Are you asking about the catechism itself or what is *in* the catechism ( the doctrines ) ? I can comment on either .

My Catechism has approximately 2,300 unique Scriptural references. How many did the one you study have?
