Definitive Catholic Catechism Reproductions Concur
With The Old Baltimore Catechism
The old Baltimore Catechism
was the basic catechism Catholic Church
publishers used in the USA for decades. It spared the fluff. It was "originally issued by the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1885" (Inside jacket cover, Baltimore Catechism No. 2
, Tan Books). It uses more definitions than other popular catechisms. The numerical order of the questions originally followed throughout the series 0, 1
, 2
, 3
, 4
; yet throughout the years this was not uniformly maintained amongst the many publishers who have republished it since then.
St. Anne's Helper Audio Catechism (CDs or Downloads, or Ebook Catechism Copybooks) use the questions most often asterisked to be memorized in most Catholic Catechism versions for First Communion and Catholic Confirmation - a great help for adults as well as children!

Precise And Definitive Answers
More importantly, there were revisions to the answers, only a few of which were good. In the best book we have seen for First Communion, Jesus Comes (Neumann Press), we see that the Confraternity for Christian Doctrine (CCD) approved the version of several answers that had needed some precision, especially in light of the growing error of evolution and the push to corporate guilt/confession in this last century. Questions such as "Who made the world?" was made more specific as "Who made you?" The question "Who is God?" is retained to teach that "God is the Creator of Heaven and earth and all things." This is a great help against the error of evolution that is so slippery in our time.

(A reference to the Golden Book "Tootle". Tootle learned to stop when he saw a red flag waving, an excellent turn on a phrase for us!)
Catechism of the Council of Trent
One can go blind sorting through the many variations that claim to be the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Not only do they not all concur with the Catechism of the Council of Trent, they do not even concur amongst themselves.
This study is exhausting and makes it hard to find a Catholic catechism that can be trusted to teach the Catholic answers before you've bought a whole library of compromised books. How can you tell? Only by comparison, using the principle of non-contradiction, and using the Catholic principle of choosing the better thing.
This is why it is so important to have a good book
that teaches the basic Catholic beliefs because it is against these basic beliefs that we compare the moral decisions of everyday life. The gift of moral certitude is such a welcome relief in any age. How can one tell if he doesn't understand the basics correctly or can't discern a good book from a bad one?

God's Will
What am I supposed to do in order to "know, love and serve God in order to be happy with Him in Heaven"? How do I know God's will for me personally, especially if I should not "interpret the Scriptures" to my own "perdition" as according to the book of St. Peter?
This is an easy
answer
once one knows the best Baltimore Catechism answers! We know Him, love Him and serve Him when we obey His Commandments
, believe the Apostle's Creed, and obey the precepts of the Catholic Church. These ask us to obey our lawful superiors and practice the virtues. Certitude is as easy as this! This is how we know God's Will!
Remember that God's Will is adorable and ours is not (usually). He honors obedience even to the point of miracles! Think of St. Vincent Ferrer who had been performing too many miracles for the peace of his religious community that his superior ordered him to stop. When he saw a man falling from a scaffolding full of bricks he stopped mid-miracle remembering that he wasn't supposed to work a miracle. He left the man suspended while he ran to ask permission of his superior. Of course, the superior said "Yes!"
A Catholic catechism teaches these answers succinctly with definitions. Instead of asking in a subjective manner: "What does Baptism do for YOU?" or "What does Confirmation do for YOU?" (These sacraments do the same thing for YOU as they do for EVERYONE who is well disposed!) The Baltimore Catechism answers approved by the CCD in Jesus Comes answer "What IS Baptism?" and "What IS Confirmation?" "Who IS God?" "What IS the Holy Eucharist?" "What IS the Mass?" "What IS Communion?", etc. Before having used the book called Jesus Comes to teach our children we did not even know to make the distinctions!
From a plain understanding of the text, Jesus Comes (Neumann Press) seems to be the best and most concise Catholic book for teaching the basic Catholic beliefs for Confession and First Communion for children
or adults! The
Catholic answers
are definitive. One can make conclusions from them.
Subjective answers cannot be easily universalized, yet objective answers can be related to the subject's own life at any time. Once one knows the definition he can think well independently of the searching that is so prevalent today. Truth is truth and always concurs with truth!
