Adult catechism for U.S. Catholics on bishops' agenda

One of the major items on the U.S. bishops' agenda when they meet this November will be the country's first national Catholic catechism intended specifically for adults.

The proposed adult catechism must be approved by at least two-thirds of all active bishops and then receive "recognitio," or confirmation, from the Holy See before it becomes official. The 456-page proposed text was sent out to the bishops in advance of the meeting.
Catholic World Report reviewed the proposed catechism and produced a report on it here.

Excerpts of the report were posted here last December. Hopefully, many of the suggested changes were implemented. Perhaps this could be a catechetical text of which we could be proud. Let us pray to God that it be so.
