MotownMary: The Catholic Catechism contains so much wonderful information and reference materials and indices. It's a great size to take to Bible study. I could take notes without bleed-through to the next page. Very pleased.

Leilani: I bought this for my personal use since I am completing adult Confirmation this year, which is the last Catholic Sacrament of Initiation that I had skipped when I was a teen.
First, other reviews have mentioned missing or repeating pages which does happen often in publishing houses. Nobody is perfect :). Those mentioned pages are 108-157, 852-885, 709-756. So when I first got this book, I took time to skim through each page to make sure my copy is complete, which it is. It took me about 10 careful minutes. I suggest you do this too in case you need to exchange it during Amazon's return window.
Second, this edition includes the 2018 addition of the Catholic stance against the death penalty. Other than that, there is also Pope John Paul II's Latin text updated translation done in 1997. You can refer to the 2018 addition on the USCCB's website and buy the 2003 edition if you need to save money, as that edition is half the price. Just want to give you other options as lack of funds should not keep anyone from this book.
The book itself is nicely done as any other reference book. There's enough margin space for notes. As with any thick book, the pages are a bit...

LynnSCLynnSC: Unfortunately they go the easy way in packaging books. This one is heavy and gets all shaken up inside the too large cardboard envelope during the trip all across the country. As a result the corners are bent, one is crushed where layers of the cover are split off. I need to find a way to fix that. And the down side of the cover is slightly bent, scratched deeply through the first pages.
The book looks second-hand.
Please consider picking the right envelopes as to packaging those nice books. Maybe bubble envelopes? Or a protection at the corners?
Now about the content, it is good spiritual inspiration, even if I don't agree to certain points in the doctrine. When (divine) Love becomes an intellectual dogma, this could be yet another nice entertainment therefore escape. Hence a small comfy bubble!
The actual practice of what we believe should matter most. Deeds!
Still the texts are beautiful and the topics are well sorted. This is about how to live the wonders in Christ, wherever we are in our lives, whoever we are.
