Hey All. I was wondering if we could make this a sticky thread for people that have problems with the Catechism or want to learn about it, maybe even have a daily quote or something?

Well I hope we can, Ill start the bidding ..lol

There are these footnotes down the bottom of my St.Pauls Catechism, it has symbols and citations such as:

LG 48 § 3; cf. [ 1 Cor 10:11 ] <--- This part I know what it means.
[------------]
^
That part has me stumped.

Also this part:

DV 21
DV 22

What does all this mean???

Lg is the document Lumen gentium
Dv is Dei Verbum

The KC's website provied both the catechism and alot of the footboted sections:
http://www.kofc.org/publications/cis/catechism/contents.cfm

Both happen to be Vaticain II documents:
Lumen gentium : http://www.ourladyswarriors.org/teach/lumegent.htm
Dei Verbum: http://www.ourladyswarriors.org/teach/deiverbu.htm

Each with their own footnotes which is why your example also lists Cor. becuase its the refernce used in LG.

MorphRC,

Yes the documents are long, but if you look up the section it refers to it makes it a lot easier. LG 48 3 refers to section 48 paragragh 3 in Lumen gentium. If you us the KofC online Catechism it will take you directly to the document or verse that is being referenced. A great research tool!

Oh ok. Kool. I read 250 Pages of the Catechism in 2 days, with noting and references! Had to read some stuff over and over for it to sink in, cause of its format style. But all in all I give: ** Note: Ask Admin's for clapping emotion **

Is it just me, or does the Catechism answer almost every question a Christian asks? I mean I wanted to know for instance, who are the People of God, I thought it was still the Jews. The Catechism says that the NEW people of God, is the Body of God, The Church, the first believers, the Pope, the Bishops, all who believe in the Sacraments, which means Catholics are. ALLAH AKBAR!

The Catechism is officially my favourite book now!

I just borrowed one of the Church Library's copies today. It's a hefty sucker, isn't it? Still, I'll get through as much as I can before I have to return it; I'll probably be placing an order on Amazon.ca soon...
