Catechism of the Council of Trent

By The Council of Trent · Published by TAN Books

Overview

This enduring catechism, compiled under the supervision of St. Charles Borromeo and approved by Pope St. Pius V, presents the doctrinal and moral teachings of the Catholic Church with rich theological precision and clarity.

  • Summarizes essential Catholic doctrine with doctrinal exactness and theological depth.
  • Compiled for clergy instruction but used by lay faithful as a stable reference for the Faith. 
  • Endorsed historically by popes including St. Pius X and Leo XIII for its clarity and utility. 
  • Beautifully bound hardcover that is suited for long‑term study and reference.
  • Comprehensive treatment of creed, sacraments, commandments, and prayer rooted in Tradition.
