This catechism can be considered as a valid and effective catechetical tool for the work of the evangelization, a work which has to be realized with a new missionary zeal towards those who don't know the Catholic faith and as well towards those who know it defectively and insufficiently. May those who will read this catechism and those who will use it in the noble and meritorious work of teaching Christian doctrine, may be equipped with the sure and sacred doctrine of the Catholic faith, in order to stand, having their loins girt about with truth. -Bishop Athanasius Schneider This is the first English translation of St. Robert Bellarmine's Long Catechism, which follows a traditional question and answer model but gives deep meditations on the truths of faith. It was written for students with some education as well as for those who would teach Catechism. It was explicitly approved by Pope Clement VIII and praised by Pope Benedict XIV and Pius XI. St. Robert Bellarmine is a doctor of the Church.

The most up-to-date "catechism" in print! For the first time in over fifty years, a Catholic bishop has published his own comprehensive presentation of the Faith--what to believe, how to live, and how to pray as Christ taught.

Sure to be a classic for generations to come, Credo: Compendium of the Catholic Faith offers a clear and readable summary of Catholicism as a whole, given in the pastoral style of the apostles. Using the simple and direct "Question-Answer" format so popular among instructors (and internet search engines), Bishop Athanasius Schneider shares a bold new articulation of timeless truths, while also engaging current issues with courage and kindness.

After an Introduction outlining Christian identity and doctrine, Part I unpacks what Catholics believe, following the articles of the Apostle's Creed. Part II explains the principles of right moral action, following the Commandments. Part III teaches on grace, the sacraments, prayer, and worship. Appendices include the five major Christian Creeds, and a stellar Index (plus unique headers and bleed tabs) makes navigating the book delightfully easy.

In dit handvest zijn drie documenten of verklaringen opgenomen betreffende de geloofsleer. Een eerste document, van de hand van drie Kazachse bisschoppen, dateert van december 2017. Het tweede document is het Geloofsmanifest van Kardinaal Gerhard Muller, de voormalige Prefect van de Congregatie van de Geloofsleer, welke gepubliceerd werd in februari 2019. Het derde document, dat dateert van juni 2019, is van de hand van Kardinalen Burke en Pujats en opnieuw de drie Kazachse bisschoppen Schneider, Lenga en Peta. Mogen deze gebundelde documenten, die omgedoopt werden tot 'Handvest van de Katholieke Geloofsleer' bijdragen tot het ophelderen van vragen en het wegnemen van eventuele verwarring met betrekking tot punten van geloof of kerkelijke doctrine.
