The Second Edition of the official Catechism of the Catholic Church, clearly spells out the Church's beliefs on

• Love and marriage
• Children
• God, creation, humanity, life, death, and the afterlife
• Mary, the Church, the saints, and the sacraments
• And much, much more

Revised to conform completely with the official Latin text promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1997, the book now also includes an extensive glossary and analytical index to make it even more “user friendly.” Unlike the catechism you may have used as a child, the official Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition, doesn't have a question-and-answer format. Designed for easy use in thematic sections, it can be read from cover to cover or, with its handy index, used as a resource to find a specific teaching on a specific topic.
