Catechism Study
Why might someone want to study this?
The Catechism provides the fundamentals of the Catholic Faith, revealing its interconnectivity and logic. By completing this study someone should be able to:
demonstrate familiarity with the format of the Catechism and the ability to use it as a resource.
demonstrate the ability to review and recall for themselves the basic teachings of the Catholic Church.
demonstrate the ability to impart the deposit of faith (catechesis).
demonstrate the ability to defend the faith logically and scripturally.
develop a love for the Magisterium.
foster an interest in certain topics of faith.
learn answers to basic questions of Catholic teaching.
Why this study in particular?
This study is meant to help you retain what you read. For the better part of this effort, you will remember parts of paragraphs that you find helpful in explaining what matters most to you. In this way, it is like learning logic. The first few months afterward you will not be sure it was worth it or that it is bearing fruit. The more you utilize the tools it offers you, the more you will be able to remember. If you complete these supplementary sessions, you will have reviewed the text and its meaning 5 times.
