Catechism of the Catholic Church AND HUMAN ANIMAL

Catechism which means instructions is a document created under guidance of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger the current Pope. Ratzinger as chair to a commission of 12 cardinals and bishops was given task of preparing the draft of Catechism as requested by Synod Fathers. An editorial committee of seven diocesan Bishops ,experts in theology and catechises assisted in this work.
Pope John Paul II on October 11 1992 on the 30th anniversary of the opening of the second Vatican ecumenical council ordered it accepted and printed.

This is first such document printed in four hundred years. Lot of thought has gone into it .It has tried to resolve conflicts without negativity.It may be most important document defining the current thought in Catholic philosophy as defined by no other than the current Pope in his previous incarnation as theologian of the Vatican.
His supervision for this document could have been the one of the reason for great respect given to Cardinal Ratzinger and his ascendancy to the Pope.

I thank Deacon Robert Gallo for lending me this book and opening a world of thought i had not considered.Every Catholic studies Catechism to confirm his/her faith.It is a 800 or so pages long document discussing all forms of human experience and relationship with secular , religious, spiritual,life ,death and after life issues.

AFTER READING THIS DOCUMENT I FEEL A SECULAR DOCUMENT AS INSTRUCTION FOR HUMAN ANIMAL SHOULD BE CREATED.

The effort put in this document show's the importance to the church and by proxy to man of such a document.
