	Catechism - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Heidelberg Catechism, set forth by order of the elector, is perhaps the most widely accepted symbol of the Calvinistic faith, and is noteworthy for its emphasis on the less controversial aspects of the Genevan theology.
		The catechisms of Bellarmine (1603) and Bossuet (1687) had considerable vogue, and a summary of the former known as Schema de Parvo was sanctioned by the Vatican council of 1870.
		The Anglican catechism with occasional modification, especially in the sacramental section, is used not only in the Church of England but in the Episcopal churches of Ireland, Scotland, the British dominions and the United States of America.

		Catechisms were popular in the later Middle Ages and assumed even greater significance in the Reformation through Martin Luther's emphasis on the religious education of children.
		The catechism of the Council of Trent, a document of high authority issued in 1566, was essentially a manual of instruction for use by the clergy in combating the Protestant Reformation; nonetheless it remained influential for over four centuries.
		The first new universal catechism of the Catholic church since that of the Council of Trent was released in French in 1992 and in English in 1994.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Catechism
		This catechism differs from other summaries of Christian doctrine for the instruction of the people in two points: it is primarily intended for priests having care of souls (ad parochos), and it enjoys an authority equalled by no other catechism.
		Pius IV entrusted the composition of the Catechism to four distinguished theologians: Archbishops Leonardo Marino of Lanciano and Muzio Calini of Zara, Egidio Foscarini, Bishop of Modena, and Francisco Fureiro, a Portuguese Dominican.
		The Catechism has not of course the authority of conciliary definitions or other primary symbols of faith; for, although decreed by the Council, it was only published a year after the Fathers had dispersed, and it consequently lacks a formal conciliary approbation.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christian Doctrine
		It was the forerunner of the Catechism of the Council of Trent.

	The Heidelberg Catechism, Palatinate Catechism
		The Heidelberg Catechism is often grouped together with two other Protestant Christian documents, the Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dordt, as the basis of Faith for many Churches, particularly Reformed Churches.
		Catechisms usually have three functions: instruction for all ages, preparatory training for confirmation, and the statement of a confessional position.
		The avoidance of polemics in the catechism, except for question 80, the use of clear language, and a sense of fervency helped to allay somewhat the theological controversies of that time and to guarantee an acceptance among the Reformed outside the Palatinate.

	What is Catechism?, by Zacharias Ursinus
		In the primitive church, those who learned the catechism were called Catechumens; by which it was meant that they were already in the church, and were instructed in the first principles of the Christian religion.
		The same thing may be said of the origin of catechisation which is said of the whole economy or service of the church, that it was instituted by God himself, and has always been practiced in the church.
		There are others who divide the catechism into these three parts; considering, in the first place, the doctrine respecting God, then the doctrine respecting his will, and lastly that respecting his works, which they distinguish as the works of creation, preservation, and redemption.

	The Universal Catechism Reader
		The universal catechism, which is to serve as a "point of reference" for national and local catechisms, will determine how the faith is passed on to those who will live their lives in the twenty-first century.
		The Catechism for the Universal Church treats the liturgy and the seven sacraments of the church in part 2, "On the Celebration of the Christian Mystery." Following a short introduction, this part of the catechism is divided into two sections, "The Sacramental Economy" (2009-2163) and "The Seven Sacraments of the Church" (2201-2883).
		Here the catechism deals with the importance of worship, the use of images in worship, the habit of prayer, the meaning and efficacy of prayer of petition, what is meant by the exhortation to pray always, the role and significance of liturgical prayer, and the meaning of Sabbath/Sunday observance….

	Catechism
		The word "catechism" readily conjures up visions of dogmatic belief, enshrined in rigidly formulated articles and designed to be memorized and mindlessly recited by children and by adults of childish minds.
		Yet a catechism is truly but a compendium of instructions, usually of a religious nature, arranged in the form of questions and answers.
		The most famous "heretical" catechism was the one printed in 1498 (although existing earlier) which was used not by one but by three heterodox movements at once, i.e.

		The WSCP (Westminster Singing Catechism Project) is still, to this day, a work in progress.
		It is by no means a professional production, but rather a labor of love, originally and specifically for the edification of the covenant children of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Providence, RI, but also for the church of Christ all over the world.
		However, I believe the fruit of my labour is acceptable for the purpose of helping interested parents (or anyone for that matter) to teach their children (as well as themselves?) the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

		It is a commentary on the creeds, but is not meant to be a complete statement of belief and practices; rather, it is a point of departure for the teacher, and it is cast in the traditional question and answer form for ease of reference.
		The second use of this catechism is to provide a brief summary of the Church's teaching for an inquiring stranger who picks up a Prayer Book.
		It may also be used to form a simple service; since the matter is arranged under headings, it is suitable for selective use, and the leader may introduce prayers and hymns as needed.

		A Christian, Profitable, and Necessary Preface and Faithful, Earnest Exhortation of Dr. Martin Luther to All Christians, but Especially to All Pastors and Preachers, that They Should Daily Exercise Themselves in the Catechism, which is a Short Summary and Epitome of the Entire Holy Scriptures, and that They May Always Teach the Same.
		And if this were not sufficient to admonish us to read the Catechism daily, yet we should feel sufficiently constrained by the command of God alone, who solemnly enjoins in Deut.
		Now I know of a truth that such lazy paunches and presumptuous spirits do not understand a single psalm, much less the entire Holy Scriptures; and yet they pretend to know and despise the Catechism, which is a compend and brief summary of all the Holy Scriptures.
