YOUCAT by Ignatius Press is short for Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is the official catechism for World Youth Day. Written for high-school age people and young adults, YOUCAT is an accessible, contemporary expression of the Catholic Faith.
The popular format includes:
- Questions-and-answers
- Highly-readable commentary
- Margin pictures and illustrations
- Summary definitions of key terms, Bible citations
- Quotes from the Saints and other great teachers
What's more, YOUCAT by Ignatius Press is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Faith, so people can go deeper. It explains:
- What Catholics believe (doctrine)
- How they celebrate the mysteries of the faith (sacraments)
- How Catholics are to live (moral life)
- How they should pray (prayer and spirituality)
The questions are direct and honest, even at times tough; the answers straightforward, relevant, and compelling. After the Bible, YOUCAT will likely become the "go-to" place for young people to learn the truth about the Catholic faith.
Pope Benedict XVI wrote the foreword; Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the editor of YOUCAT by Ignatius Press and the Archbishop of Vienna, Austria, wrote the afterword.
Excerpts from the Foreword by Pope Benedict XVI:
Study this Catechism!
This is my heartfelt desire.
Study this Catechism
with passion and perseverance.
Study it in the quiet of your room;
read it with a friend;
form study groups and networks;
share with each other on the Internet....
You need to be more deeply rooted in the faith
than the generation of your parents...
