The primary historical catechisms of the Catholic church include (feel free to add to my list):
In Verbum
- Roman Catechism aka Catechism of the Council of Trent
- Catechism of the Catholic Church
- Basic Catechism (Hill)
- Catholic Christianity: A Complete Catechism of Catholic Beliefs (Kreeft)
- Youcat: Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church
- A Christological Catechism: New Testament Answers (Fitzmeyer)
- The Catechetical Lectures of St. Cyril (stretching definition)
- St. Augustine: The First Catechetical Instruction (stretching definition)
Not in Verbum - should be added
- Catechism of Saint Pius X
- Baltimore Catechism
- Catechism of Christian Doctrine aka Penny Catechism
- A New Catechism: Catholic Faith for Adults aka Dutch Catechism
- United State Catholic Catechism for Adults
- Catechism for Filipino Catholics
- Christ - Our Pascha (Ukrainian)
- The Catechetical Instructions of St. Thomas Aquinas
- Ignorantia sacerdotum aka Lay-Folk's Catechism
- Ukrainian Catholic Catechism Our Faith by Casimir Kucharek
- Light for Life Series (The Mystery Believed, The Mystery Celebrated, The Mystery Lived)
- Captivated by Your Teachings (Maronite)
Catechisms are important to see how the teaching have been presented in different rites, across time, and across culture. It is an area in which Verbum is comparatively weak.
