A Catechism of Christian Doctrine

"A Catechism of Christian Doctrine" by Anonymous is a late 19th-century instructional book outlining Catholic Christian beliefs and practices. Created following the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the catechism instructs individuals, particularly children and those preparing for sacraments like Confirmation on core doctrines. It begins with prayers and hymns, progressing to a question-and-answer format covering essential topics such as the nature of God, humanity’s purpose, the importance of the soul, the Trinity, and Redemption, further emphasizing the importance of worship, understanding moral duties, and having a relationship with the Church, explained in straightforward language for religious education.
