YOUCAT |
|
By Cardinal Christoph Schönbon. Foreword by Pope Benedict XVI. |
|
YOUCAT is short for Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church, which was launched on World Youth Day. This book was specifically requested and commissioned by Pope Benedict XVI. Written and developed by and for young Catholics, YOUCAT is an accessible, contemporary expression of the Catholic Faith. The appealing format, replete with many photos and illustrations, includes questions and answers, highly-readable commentary, definitions of key terms, Bible citations, and thought-provoking quotations from the saints and others in the margins. Furthermore, YOUCAT is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, so that the reader can deepen his or her knowledge on any given topic.
This catechism for teens and young adults explains:
* What Catholics believe and why (doctrine)
* How Catholics celebrate the mysteries of the faith (sacraments)
* How Catholics are to live (moral life)
* How they should pray (prayer and spirituality)
The questions and answers are direct and honest, even tough at times. YOUCAT is the "go-to" place for young people to learn the truth about the Catholic Faith. |

The Story of
Benedict XVI for Young People |
|
By Claire Jordan Mohan. |
|
Children need to know their new Pope not only as a great man of God but as
he was, a child and a teenager like themselves. Growing up in Germany was
for Joseph Ratzinger both a peaceful and a dangerous time. He had the
inner peace and stability of a devout Catholic family life, but all around
this family the evils of Nazism and World War II raged. The family lived
under this threat and had to struggle to remain Catholic in an
anti-Catholic state. In the midst of this, Joseph found his vocation and
suffered persecution because of his decision to become a Catholic priest.
Contains quotations from Benedict XVI, chronology, and glossary. |
