Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition

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 🙏

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.

Gives a good prospective on the church. I can't wait to complete it!

This book is your way to go to understand your faith. Please take the time to check out the podcast of Fr. Mike. This will transform your understanding of our faith and fall deeply in love with it. Thank you so much for putting this book and the podcast together!

I haven’t used this a ton yet, I didn’t even realize Ascension had published a catechism until I went to buy the new notetaking Bible. But I’m really impressed so far, it’s a nice, readable layout way more beautifully designed than the well known big green catechism!). I’m sure the extra space for notes will come in handy. I saw some critiques of its binding, but honestly it looks well bound to me. The pages have a nice smooth matte texture and have a decent thickness, and the text is about the same as the notetaking Bible, so pretty readable. The four ribbons for each section are nice. The way it prominently shows the sources throughout, highlights important terms, etc is excellent. I highly recommend.
