"The Ad Hoc Committee to Oversee the Use of the Catechism, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has found this catechetical text, copyright 2004, to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church." The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth directly complements the scriptural wisdom contained in The Catholic Youth Bible® by offering a rich history of the Catholic Tradition. With clear, concise information about the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church--organized to parallel the Catechism of the Catholic Church so that young people can appreciate the richness of Catholic teaching--this handbook is the most comprehensive available. Teens will appreciate the articles and stories that shed light on issues important to them.
