The Message -- for Catholics of Southwestern Indiana
_Questions and answers about new Catech
An English edition of The
Catechism of the Catholic
Church is expected to be pub-
lished and available early next
year. Following are questions
and answers about the Cate-
chism, from a committee of the
United states Catholic Confer-
ence.
How can the Catechism
be most effectively used by
priests?
Since the Catechism pre-
sents the content of the faith in
a complete and organic sum-
mary, it is an invaluable pas-
toral resource for priests. It of-
fers the Church's teachings in
a positive, expository manner
avoiding argumentation or
apologetic. As such it easily
lends itself to use in teaching,
counseling and preaching. For
example, when the faithful
seek responses to questions
concerning doctrinal matters,
the Catechism is a user-
friendly resource with its
cross-referencing system and
many indices. In addition, as
doctrinal issues are suggested
in the liturgical cycle of read-
ings, the Catechism can pro-
vide fertile background for the
priest to address these issues
directly in his homilies. Since
seminarians can also benefit
from the use of the Catechism.
they, too. should be encouraged
to read and study it.

l
they teach their opinions on
doctrinal matters. Catechists
teach in the name of Christ. In
fact it is Christ who they teach.
In light of this, catechists are
teachers of the truths of the
faith. The Catechism provides
them a handy reference work
which could be used together
with their catechist manuals
for use in the preparation of
lesson plans. Catechists will
find the Catechism to be a reli-
able and credible companion in
their catechetical ministry.
How can the Catechism
be effectively used by all
others responsible for cate-
chests?
While this part of the Cate-
chism's intended audience is
indefinite, it would seem that
diocesan and parish educa-
tional and catechetical leaders
would be included. The Cate-
chism provides a treasury of
personal and professional re-
sources for all those responsi-
ble for catechesis, especially
those in leadership positions.
Diocesan and parish educa-
tional and catechetical leaders,
under the direction of the local
bishop, could assist in the eval-
uation of catechetical materi-
als based on the Catechism.

be most effectively used by
"all the faithful"?
