Title: Old Catechism
Post by: DecemRationis on September 22, 2022, 04:49:17 PM
Don’t know much about this or its provenance, but it’s called, The Grounds Of The Catholick Doctrine, Contained In The Profession Of Faith, Published by Pope Pius IV, By Way Of Question And Answer:

I’ve just read it in spots, but it seems very good. If I have my Roman Numerals right, it looks to be punished in 1775.

Wow!  This sounds like a really neat book!  I have never heard of it before!  Thank you for sharing!

I attached it as a PDF to download to your computer in case the website disappears as so many have in the past.

You’ll get used to that rather quickly.

Seems to be almost entirely an anti-Prot catechism ... based primarily on citations from Sacred Scripture (given that it's all the Prots were accepting).

Given that time in England, the catechism probably had to be written that way, to combat the Protestant errors to which Catholics were exposed incessantly.

More recently, Radio Replies was much the same way.
