Katechismus der katholischen Kirche

A catechism is essential in the household of a believer. This manual is the cornerstone for Catholics and serves as a reference work on the fundamental questions of the Roman Catholic faith. This updated community edition from Oldenbourg, St. Benno Verlag, and Paulusverlag contains 824 pages. The inclusion of commonly used document names, expanded source references, a register of cited passages, and a subject index makes it very user-friendly. All these improvements make the volume an even more suitable textbook and reference work. The new edition is based on the Latin version, known as the Editio typica Latina. The catechism is clearly divided into four parts, addressing topics such as the Creed, the sacraments, the Ten Commandments, and Christian prayers. The updated German edition of 2020 now also includes the new text on the death penalty, which was announced by Pope Francis in a letter to the bishops on August 1, 2018, and incorporated into the catechism. This updated standard work of the Catholic Church, a reference work and message of hope, includes the new commentary from Pope Francis on the death penalty.
