This book contains 37 lessons, more in depth than Baltimore
Catechism No.1, and is appropriate for grades 6-9. Since the
Baltimore Catechism was first launched in 1885, it has proved an
incomparable tool for passing on the faith to the next
generation. The revival of this Catechism reflects the growing
realisation among Catholics, that to accept, practice and defend
the holy faith, we must first understand and learn its truths.
The Baltimore Catechism clearly and concisely explains what
Catholics believe. The question and answer format is useful for
anyone who wants to grow in his or her knowledge of the faith of
the Catholic Church. It is also perfect for parents who want to
instruct their children in the fundamentals of Catholicism. This
edition has been re-typeset using the text of the 1933 edition
originally published by Benzinger Brothers, NY under the
Imprimaturs of John Cardinal McCloskey, New York, 6th April,
1885, Michael Augustine, New York 25th July 1898 and Patrick
Cardinal Hayes, New York, 26th N
