Institutio Catholica Numbers to Remember

Home

The list below was compiled from a number of prayer books that were composed from the 18th to the mid 20th century. Prayer books from this period would often contain short summaries on the teachings of the Church and the duties of good Christians. The sources for the texts of each of the items below are the Catechismus Catholicae Ecclesiae, 1997 (CCC) and the Catechismus Catholicus, Petri Cardinalis Gaspari, 1931. Lest anyone think that the Church today feels that some of the items below are no longer relevant in this modern age, the applicable section numbers from the CCC have been given where appropriate.
