Personal Review: Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism: The
Truths of Our Catholic Faith Clearly Explained and Illustrated :

With Bible Readings, Study Helps and Mass Prayers (St. Joseph
Catecisms) by Bennet Kelly
A number of myths surround the Baltimore Catechism, Vatican II, and
Church teaching. Here are three of them:
MYTH NO. 1: "Before Vatican II, Catholics were told not to read the Bible."
REALITY: Each lesson from the New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism,
released prior to Vatican II, begins with a reading from Scripture and ends
with additional suggested readings.
MYTH NO. 2: "We're not supposed to use catechisms anymore."
REALITY: "In fulfilling its educational role, the Church, eager to employ all
suitable aids, is concerned especially about those which are her very own.
Foremost among these is catechetical instruction, which enlightens and
strengthens the faith, nourishes life according to the spirit of Christ, leads
to intelligent and active participation in the liturgical mystery and gives
motivation for apostolic activity." -- Vatican II's Declaration on Christian
Education, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on October 28, 1965.
MYTH NO. 3: "Before Vatican II, all anyone did was memorize the
Baltimore Catechism."
REALITY: Each lesson of the New St. Joseph edition includes discussion
questions to stimulate the imagination of learners.
