Catechism of the Catholic Church

Summary: The Magisterium in Concrete
Review: Certainly, for those interested in knowing what the teachings of the Catholic Church under the magisterium of John Paul II are, this is an indispensable item. It does, however, raise the question of what happens to the Church when it seeks to take a specific doctrinal and moral stand by setting its teachings in concrete, so to speak. One need only consider the debate that still rages over the definition of the dogma of the Assumption and papal infallibility at the first Vatican Council! As a researcher's tool, I have found this book useful and thought provoking. As a Catholic, I find some of it disturbing.

Review: This was (and still is!) and excellent resource tool when I took the RCIA class. I use it all the time when I have a question because it states the belief along with any coordinating resources at the bottom of the pages. I'm currently using it for my research paper!
