In this episode of "Catechism in a Year," Fr. Mike Schmitz delves into the prologue of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, covering paragraphs 11-25. He outlines the purpose of the Catechism as an updated overview of Catholic doctrine, intended not just for bishops, priests, and catechists, but also for all who practice the faith. Fr. Schmitz explores the Catechism’s four main sections—profession of faith, sacraments, life of faith, and prayer—and shares useful tips for navigating its cross-references and unique font styles. Ultimately, he highlights that, as expressed in the Roman Catechism, the aim is to nurture a love that lasts forever.
