Baltimore Catechism No.2
$6.95
Since the Baltimore Catechism was first launched in 1885, it has proved an incomparable tool for passing on the faith to the next generation. The revival of this Catechism reflects the growing realization among Catholics, that to accept, practice and defend the holy faith, we must first understand and learn its truths. The Baltimore Catechism clearly and concisely explains what Catholics believe. The question and answer format is useful for anyone who wants to grow in his or her knowledge of the faith of the Catholic Church. It is also perfect for parents who want to instruct their children in the fundamentals of Catholicism. This book contains 37 lessons, more in depth than Baltimore Catechism No.1, and is appropriate for grades 6-9.

What trade do you follow, Demetrius ? Demetrius. I am a maker of images. Luke. Such images as travelling Italians sell? Demetrius. Not exactly so. They make theirs of plaster, or chalk, or some such things; whereas mine are made, some of wood, some of ivory or bone, some of brass, and a few of silver. Besides, their images are merely for ornament, but mine are for use,?a sacred use : theirs are to adorn a chimney-piece, but mine are for the closet or the chapel, before which the faithful kneel and worship. In addition to which I might add, their images are the images, chiefly, of Kings, and poets, and philosophers, and heroes, and statesmen ; whereas those which I make are the images of saints, and angels, and Jesus, and the blessed Virgin.
