Recent reads: Compendium- Catechism of the Catholic church

Recent reads: Compendium - Catechism of the Catholic church, compiled by our Pope Benedict XVI.

Being slacking around..so its time to fill up my knowledge bank!
Compendium is a concise, yet comprehensive compilation of a body of knowledge. (Good thing that the book has BIG fonts! )

Catechism is a summary or exposition of doctrine, traditionally used in Christian religious teaching from New Testament times to the present. Catechisms are doctrinal manuals often in the form of questions followed by answers to be memorized, a format that has been used in non-religious or secular contexts as well.

In short, it is an educational system on Christianity, in this context. =)

The part i liked inside is...The Lord's prayer. It is the only prayer which unities all Christians, because it is the only prayer, taught by Jesus. The book explains every single sentence in this prayer.

Gonna read up more!

Amen.
