The Catechism of the Council of Trent

Compiled under the direction of St Charles of Borromeo and recognized as the most authoritative Catholic catechism. Pope Leo XII recommended two books - the Summa and this Catechism - for all seminarians! Pope Benedict XVI, as a Cardinal, called it the most important Catholic Catechism. Originally designed to supply parish priests with an official book of instruction, it has been used extensively by the laity as a steadying guide in our confused age. New typesetting and beautiful hardbound cover.
