Leatherlike Cathechism in Spanish pleaasee!!!

Since a large number of Catholics are from Spanish-speaking countries, it feels necessary that your edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church be more available to that public. I'm not referring only to the paperback edition of the Catechism, but also aiming to produce a Leather-like version in the same way you did with your Great Adventure Catholic Bible. You should explore the possibility of cooperation with Editorial Desclée de Brouwer (as you did in the past) or with another Spanish or Latin American publisher to make the Catechism more available.
Sincerely, a great admirer of your work and your efforts to evangelize in the true faith. May God be with you all. Best regards.

Dado que un gran número de católicos proviene de países de habla hispana, parece necesario que su edición del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica esté más disponible para ese público. No me refiero solo a la edición tapa blanda del Catecismo, sino también a la intención de producir una versión símil piel de la misma manera que hicieron con su Biblia Católica Great Adventure. Deberían explorar la posibilidad de cooperación con Editorial Desclée de Brouwer (como lo hicieron en el pasado) o con otra editorial española o latinoamericana para hacer que el Catecismo sea más accesible.
Se despide un gran admirador de su trabajo y su esfuerzo por evangelizar en la verdadera fe. Que Dios esté con ustedes. Saludos cordiales.

Ediciones en español para lectores internacionales

Sería genial si pudieran vender las ediciones en español por Amazon para quienes no vivimos en Estados Unidos o Canadá. También una ediciones tapa dura en español. ¡Muchas gracias!

Loved It! Please Make a Leatherlike Edition in Spanish!

Hello,
I recently purchased the English leatherlike edition of your book. Many of my followers on my Spanish YouTube channel have been asking where they can find a similar leatherlike edition in Spanish. As far as I know, it’s only available in paperback.

If a Spanish leatherlike edition is ever released, please let me know, I’d love to share it with my community, as there’s a lot of interest.

Thank you and blessings!

Catechism in a Year

God bless you Fr Mike for making this series accessible to both Catholics and Protestants. I like what you said in Catechism 10 - The Scriptures have revealed to us the full truth which we should pass on to the next generation, so this is a gift to my daughter and my son in-law. May God bless you as you continue to teach us as followers of our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏

Beautiful and informative

I first bought this catechism years ago on Amazon-directly from ascension press, but it never shipped and was eventually canceled. A few weeks ago I tried to buy it on Amazon again and it was clearly going to do the same thing after never shipping. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I realized I was not the only one going through that. (Although the reviews have since been erased?) But I also noticed the shipping is not handled by Ascension press it’s handled by Amazon. So I went ahead and cut out the middleman and bought it directly from the website, which was clearly the right thing to do because it shipped pretty immediately. I finally got the precious! It took me years but It’s mine! Lol Ya’ll made me work for it.

I’ve noticed people complaining about the cover. Fake leather is wiser for this era though. Personally I would rather not have a dead animal plastered on my catechism or my Bible when there’s a choice-and I’m in cattle country! And since cows are a huge part of global warming-which this church recognizes the danger of-it’s more responsible to not fuel the beef industry more than necessary. The world wasn’t meant for this many cows.
