  • Illustrating the Catholic Catechism.

    The great value of illustrations in teaching children and the uneducated is universally acknowledged.

  • Baltimore Catechisms
    • 20% less

    In the nineteenth century, repeated efforts had been made in the United States towards an arrangement by which a uniform textbook of Christian Doctrine might be used by all Catholics. At last, in 1885, was issued "A Catechism of Christian Doctrine, Prepared and Enjoined by Order of the Third Council of Baltimore." Although the council had desired a catechism "perfect in every respect" (Acta et Decr., p. 219), theologians and teachers criticized several points. Soon various editions came forth with additions of word-meanings, explanatory notes, some even with different Arrangements, so that soon there was a considerable diversity in the books that go by the name of Baltimore Catechism; however, all editions maintain uniform doctrinal teaching. Below we show the more popular Baltimore Catechisms, which were used to instruct generations of Catholics since they first appeared in 1885.

    All books in this series are authentic reprints (as all of our books). No revisions or “updates” have been made. Many Baltimore Catechisms on the market today have only the basic answer and have been gutted of a more complete explanation and Scriptural reference. We assure our faithful customers that all Catechisms are complete without any revision or “update” of any kind.

    Baltimore Catechism Primer. A Catechism Primer of Christian Doctrine by Roderick MacEachen, D.D.. Impr 1910. Contains 34 short lessons. This is a Child’s Prayer Book. It is touchingly simply, and millions of copies sold in the last century. It contains no “baby talk,” no sentimentalism, no distracting figures of speech. Every phrase is in the simply and natural language that children would utter in spontaneous, sincere prayers. Many grown-ups love to use this prayer book because of its devout sincerity. 72 page booklet. N-BCP

    Baltimore Catechism #3. An Advanced Catechism of Catholic Faith and Practice. For Use in the Higher Grades of Catholic Schools. Compiled by Rev. Thomas J. O’Brien. Impr 1901.

It is hoped, the advanced pupils will be able to see clearly the intimate relations between Catholic Faith and Practice, and will grow in admiration and love of the living and practical truths taught and enforced by the Church. 251 page book.

  • By Rev. William L. Doty.

    By skillfully employing the technique of narrative and dialogue. Fr. Doty has succeeded in vividly dramatizing the religious truths of the Catechism in terms of everyday living. He has done this by taking situations and incidents that arise in the lives of average boys and girls and building around them interesting stories which illustrate the teachings of the Church.

  • By Rev. W. Faerber. Imprimatur 1897.

    “Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God and His justice” Matt. 6,33 Many will remember this Catechism from years past for the clever explanations in small print for many of the questions. For example, Question 276: “How must we resist temptations? We must resist temptations immediately by praying, and by turning our thoughts to other things.” Then in small print: “When a spark of fire falls on our clothes we shake it off instantly.” An intermediate Catechism, it contains 486 questions and answers, often with detailed explanation in smaller print, Prayers and Instructions, Devotions for Confession and a section on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Latin Mass Prayers for servers and singers.

  • Catechism of Perseverance
    • 11% less

    an Historical, Doctrinal, Moral, and Liturgical Exposition or Catholic Religion.

    Translated from the French of Abbe Gaume by Rev. F. B. Jamison

        The great merit of the Catechism of Perseverance as a text-book for the more advanced instruction of young persons in the history, doctrines and practices of the Christian religion, has been universally admitted. The plan followed by the author is such as to facilitate very much the acquisition of this necessary knowledge, by presenting a connected idea of religion from the creation of man to the end of time. For a more particular explanation of his method, we refer the reader to his introductory remarks. The first edition of the abridged work in English was received with the warmest commendations of the press. In presenting it again to the public, we beg leave to state that it has undergone a careful revision, and many inaccuracies of expression have been corrected. A table of contents has also been added, which will be found very convenient in a book containing so many details. We offer it therefore with confidence to the Catholic community, hoping that it will meet their approbation and answer the important ends for which it was designed.

  • Catechism of the "Summa Theologica" of Saint Thomas Aquinas for the Use of the Faithful
    • New!

    By Rev. R.P. Thomas Pegues, O.P.
    Adapted from the French and Done into English by Rev. Ælred Whitacre, O.P.

    Imprimatur, 1922. 315 page book.

    The manifold honours paid by the Holy See to St. Thomas Aquinas exclude for ever any doubt from the mind of Catholics with regard to his being raised up by God as the master of Doctrine to be followed by the Church through all ages. It is therefore fitting that singular wisdom of the Holy Doctor should be made accessible, not only to the clergy, but to the faithful in general, and to whomsoever desired to make a deeper study of the things of religion, for in truth, the nearer one approaches to the light, so much the more is one enlightened.

    Readers that wish to study the doctrine more deeply will find much help in the references quoted at the end of most of the answers to the questions; they refer to the Summa Theologica itself.

    This catechism is divided into three parts: of God, of Man, and Jesus Christ.

  • The Church at the Council of Trent, assembled Dec. 13, 1545, seeing the need of a uniform and comprehensive manual which would supply parish priests with an official book of instruction for the faithful, ordered the preparation of the work which has ever since been known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent. There is no single-volume work which so combines solidity of doctrine and practical usefulness with unction of treatment as does this truly marvelous Catechism. From beginning to end it not only reflects the light of faith, but it also radiates, to an unwonted degree, the warmth of devotion and piety.
