LearnThe Catholic Ten Commandments Easily!
Did you know that the Catholic Ten Commandments are not a direct quote from the Catholic Bible? We didn't. We also did not know that the Protestants have an even further different Decalogue, not including the various paraphrases. You can be certain to learn or teach the Catholic Ten Commandments when you use St. Anne's Audio Catechism CDs for both First Communion
and Confirmation. It is handy to be able to use "repeat one" to review when memorizing them!
Catholic Ten Commandments
The Commandments of God are these ten:
1. I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
3. Remember thou keep holy the Lord‘s Day.
4. Honor thy father and thy mother.
5. Thou shall not kill.
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7. Thou shalt not steal.
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.
There's always a Catholic company for Catholic Baptism, First Communion, and Catholic Confirmation gifts. Many Catholic book publishing companies and Catholic gift stores have the Catholic Ten Commandments on a beautiful plaque or framed to hang as a picture!
There are many more than the ten "Thou shalt nots" in the book of Exodus XX. The Decalogue as seen in the Baltimore Catechism is extracted from Exodus in a concise way so as to convey the meaning of the text in an easy to memorize way. Also, remember that the Douay-Rheims Bible Old Testament says "Sabbath", yet many of the Baltimore Catechisms use the term "Lord's Day" since the Catholic day of rest became Sunday, not Saturday, in honor of the Resurrection and Pentecost. Whenever there is a difference in Catholic answers
the morally safer course is to use the more precise terms.
St. Anne's Audio Catechism CDs also use the term "Lord's Day" in the Catholic habit of using specific terms. The verbatim text is also printable and reprintable from the very same enhanced CD!
Simply put, the Catholic religion teaches that we believe what the
Apostles' Creed
Catholic Ten Commandments
and the
Catholic Sacraments
teach.
Catholic saints are the ones who heroicly did what it taught.
The Apostles' Creed teaches what we believe, the Ten Commandments teach what God told us to do and what not to do, and the Catholic Sacraments give us the supernatural grace necessary to do it! The Catholic Faith is simple enough for His little ones and intricate enough for such as St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Thomas More! Use our left nav bar or our search boxes to find what interests you.
Once you know the basics in the Catholic religion you can better judge what the Catholic truth is.
Mass? First Commandment. Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Abortion? Fifth Commandment.
Divorce? Sixth and Ninth Commandments.
Evolution? Creation? First Chapter of the Catholic Bible, Genesis 1:1-31.
Ecology? Environment? Climate? First chapter of the Catholic Bible and the Seventh Commandment.
Genesis 1:28-30 " And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth. And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat: And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done."
Decisions in life are easier when you know the principles as God formed them.
St. Anne's Helper has Catholic audio books
to help make this study easy and interesting. Our Catholic ebooks also offer resources that can be immediately downloaded!
Beautiful Catechism Copybooks
are also available. Both the Audio CDs and the Copybooks have the same verbatim text which can really boost the memory when studying the Catholic Ten Commandments. The Copybooks aid beautiful Catholic penmanship practice
as well! The First Communion Copybook
is in beautiful manuscript
on lined pages that are fully reproducible. And the Confirmation Copybook is in beautiful cursive on lined pages that are also fully reproducible. You may also order the Confirmation Copybook in beautiful manuscript!
Next after teaching the Catholic Ten Commandments the First Communion audio catechism CD and its Copybook uses the simple expansion of the Commandments from the book Jesus Comes
. This expansion has very clear "tells and forbids"
questions and answers for each of the Ten. They may be a bit much for little ones to memorize, but they are great for review before receiving the sacrament of Penance in order to better understand which acts are sinful.
The Douay-Rheims Bible
is the Roman Catholic Bible that has the best "translation" from the Latin Vulgate
of St. Jerome.
The original meaning was simply "carried" (trans-) from the original Vulgate. Many other versions, including the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine "version", are not true translations but mere paraphrases. Remember that the Douay-Rheims Bible was translated at a time when every word mattered to the point of martyrdom. The Anglicans in England were ready to kill Catholics over such matters as true Catholic education as they did St. Margaret Clitherow. She was a martyr to the Protestant laws and taxes against her children's Catholic education!
When using a "version" of the Baltimore Catechism
be sure that its Bible quotes use the most reliable Catholic Bible. These relate the story around the Catholic Ten Commandments faithfully. There is no certitude like seeing or hearing the whole story!
How does one know?
The first and easiest quote to check is Genesis 3:15. The Douay-Rheims Bible says "she shall crush thy head". Many other versions simply do not make grammatical sense. One reason that paraphrased versions do not use "she shall" is that their authors chose not to tell the truth of Our Lady being the Mediatrix of All Graces, the greatest stumbling block to Protestants.
Other clues are: testament is changed to covenant (see the Haydock Douay-Rheims foreword to see that one does not have to die for a covenant which removes the emphasis from Our Lord's Redemptive Act), tabernacle is reduced to tent, words of authority are changed to clerical words (governor for official), and unisex language. See the Catechism of the Bible (1924)for the Catholic Church's history of using English words derived from Latin.
The principle of non-contradiction is in force with many of the differing terms as can be seen between "she shall" and "he shall".
Once you know these principles it becomes easier to choose a book with the Catholic answers!
