Book Description

This beautiful and detailed Catechism is intended for use of Teachers and Catholic believers. In the words of the Author, Father Michael Müller: "I know of nothing more needed, and better calculated to do good: For little children in spelling classes-for adults lamentably uninstructed in what is necessary to know and to believe, in order to save their souls. For the use of Parochial Schools, and of catechumens who have more opportunity or more capacity. For colleges, academies, high schools, for persons of cultivation, old as well as young, for professional men, etc. This number should especially be plain, popular, comprehensive, and interesting. The object of such a series of catechisms is, clearly and deeply to impress the truths of religion upon the minds of the young. A clear knowledge of these truths will, with the grace of God, gradually gain the affections of youth for the Divine Teacher of our religion, Jesus Christ, our Blessed Lord and Redeemer. ln order, however, to reach this great object, it is necessary that in each number should be found, as much as possible, the same order and the same questions and answers for the chief truths of religion, so that these truths, by the additional questions and answers in another number, may be but more clearly explained and more solidly established."
