Baltimore Catechism is the catechism of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, written for Catholic school children in the United States, This volume begins with the traditional prayers Apostles Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, Glory Be, Acts of Contrition, Love, et cetera, The chapters are broken down in discussing The Ten Commandments, the Sacraments, sins, Laws of the Church, and the like, At the back of this volume are traditional hymns,
This volume is easy to understand, with questions and answers that relate to the particular subject matter in each chapter, This is the catechism to read to learn or remind oneself of the true tenants of the Church, not the New Church of Vatican II,
This volume is written for the younger Roman Catholic student each successive volume through numberis more indepth and appropriate to the students grade level,
I highly recommend this series,
Gutenberg Project, I found it much more interesting and inspiring than the new catechism, Good The Baltimore Catechism doesn't get the attention it deserves in the modern Church, This particular volume is not only quite slim and easilydigestible compared to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but it's also laid out in a very functional format that provides clear explanation and makes all subjects very easy to find.
In some places, it is actually clearer concerning canon law, though does it have the same robust citation system and massive mountain of references,
Honestly, most Catholics who legitimately want to know their faith should have to digest this prior to the sacrament of Confirmation, One would be better off reading this and keeping a copy handy than trying to tackle the CCC without the express attitude and approach of a scholar,
Even the Fourth version the most advanced in concept and explanation is easily readable for the average adult, and affords a detailed look into the basic truths of the faith and the world, a rich explanation of the most necessary prayers, and a firm doctrinal foundation for a selfless life abundant in the freedom of God's grace.
Clear and concise. Throughly explained the faith that recent works often leave out, All Catholics should begin here for clear foundation, His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons: "I thank you for the copy of The Explanation of the Baltimore Catechism which has just reached me, A Religious spoke to me in very high terms of your book, I regard the opinion as of great value,
"

Apart from the very satisfactory development of the answers to the questions and apt illustrations of the subjects treated, the additional questions inserted in your book give it a special value.
