Father Mike is preparing a new podcast based on this book, which is a summary of Catholic beliefs. It's described as dense and more challenging than the Bible due to its format.
Right. You are correct. It is a book. And it is yeah. So it is a summary of what we believe as Catholics.

Father Mike is preparing a new podcast based on this book, which is a summary of Catholic beliefs. It's described as dense and more challenging than the Bible due to its format.
Right. You are correct. It is a book. And it is yeah. So it is a summary of what we believe as Catholics.
So there've been a number of catechisms over the course of the last 2000 years. The most recent one was actually the big, this is the most recent universal catechism.
The one previous was the catechism with the council of Trent.
But this one came out, I think in 1991, 1992, somewhere in there. And it's beautiful, but it's a summary of all the Catholics believe.
And it is dense and the Bible was so easy in comparison because the Bible is a story and yes, there's all the names and yes, there's some of the things like, wait, what's going on here in this kind of situation? Trying to make sense of things.
The catechism is not a story.
The catechism is, here's what we believe about that, that, that, that going down the line. Right?
So you're, you're, you live in it up.
I hope so.
But it's, it's, it's been a learning process for me because again, the, with the Bible, I'm like, well, especially if you, um, the first few episodes of the Bible are, you know, the first couple of chapters of Genesis and Job, which are things that I have been reading and praying about for years and years and years with the catechism.
The first couple of paragraphs, a couple of days are like, oh, here's the introduction to the catechism, which I'm like, okay, uh, awesome.
I'm just hoping that people stick around until like day 20. Cause that, by that point we're like, then we take off and then it gets really, really good.
But unlike the Bible, it, it's a little bit to warm up to.
