About The Catechism Of The Council Of Trent
Three years after the end of the Council of Trent, in 1566, i.e. 545 years ago, the "Catechism of the Council of Trent for the use of parish priests" was drawn up. The Catechism has also been called the Catechism of Saint Pius V, the Roman Catechism, the Tridentine Catechism or the Catechismus ad parochos. For many centuries it was the only catechism that was both the fruit of an ecumenical Council with papal authority and with official authority for the whole Church: it was truly an exception among catechisms. It has also been recommended by numerous local Synods and Councils. It was published with the idea of counterbalancing the influence of Protestant catechisms and contributing to the education of the faith in the Christian people. The main characteristic of this Catechism is the absence of any discussion of theological schools. It reflects the thinking of the Church, based on Scripture, patristics and the thought of Trent, making its own the lines of the best theology.
