Description

The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults is an adaptation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and it is presented to Catholics of the United States. It is our hope that this United States Catholic Catechism for Adults will be an aid and a guide for deepening faith. It may serve as a resource for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and for the ongoing catechesis of adults. It will also be of interest for those who wish to become acquainted with Catholicism. Finally, it can serve as an invitation for all the faithful to continue growing in the understanding of Jesus Christ and his saving love for all people. Includes the 2018 revision of no. 2267 promulgated by Pope Francis.

Good book to read. Good summary of the Catechism. It is the official US Catholic Bishops summary, so this is their official position. I would recommend it for anyone looking to understand the Catholic faith more. I would also get a copy of the Catechism as well.

This books is easy to read. It broadly covers Catholic beliefs, tradition, doctrine and practices. It pages at over 500 pages but that need not intimidate because it's an easy enjoyable read while being gently informative. The other aspect is that it provides, in most cases, more explanatory detail

on the topics covered than does the Universal Catechism. However, it is not comprehensive in covering all Catholic teachings as is the Universal Catechism.
