YOUCAT 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 and quotes from the Saints and other great teachers. What's more, YOUCAT is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, so people can go deeper. It explains:
ï‚· What Catholics believe (doctrine).
ï‚· How they celebrate the mysteries of the Faith (sacraments).
ï‚· How Catholics are to live (moral life).
ï‚· 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 and the Archbishop of Vienna, Austria, wrote the afterword.
