YOUCAT is
short for Youth Catechism of the
Catholic Church, which will be
launched on World Youth Day.
Developed with the help of young
Catholics and written for
high-school age people and young
adults, YOUCAT
is an accessible, contemporary
expression of the Catholic
Faith. The appealing graphic
format includes
Questions-and-Answers,
highly-readable commentary,
summary definitions of key
terms, Bible citations and
inspiring and thought-provoking
quotes from Saints and others in
the margins. What's more,
YOUCAT is keyed
to the Catechism of the Catholic
Church, so people can go deeper.
It explains:
- What Catholics believe
and why (doctrine)
- How Catholics 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. YOUCAT
will likely become the "go-to"
place for young people to learn
the truth about the Catholic
faith. Illustrated.
What Pope Benedict
XVI has to say about the YOUCAT
project:
"Study this Catechism with
passion and perseverance. Make a
sacrifice of your time for it!
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. By all means continue
to talk with each other about
your faith."
"This book is exciting
because it speaks of our own
destiny and so deeply engages
every one of us."
"You need to know what you
believe. You need to know your
faith with that same precision
with which an IT specialist
knows the inner workings of a
computer. You need to understand
it like a good musician knows
the piece he is playing. Yes,
you need to be more deeply
rooted in the faith than the
generation of your parents so
that you can engage the
challenges and temptations of
this time with strength and
determination."
