I am working on a research paper for AP US History on a book that has made a change, or has impacted America. I chose the book Catechism of the Catholic Church in hopes of enlightening my homosexual history teacher with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Only problem is that im having trouble finding a significant change it has made on AMERICA. Any suggestions
It hasn't even had a significant effect on Catholic America. Only now are textbooks being published with corrections and the right amount of emphasis on things.
Change your topic to the change from a Church of immigrants to a Church of middle class (and possibly the impact of Vatican II on the American Church).
Don't prostelyze with your term paper. It makes it an inferior term paper.
The use of public schools to educate Catholic children on how to be American led to the establishment of private Catholic schools. This is related to the establishment clause in the Constitution.

I am a Catholic and I've been searching for articles, books, and online information where I can learn more about the Catholic Church's Doctrines. do you have websites to recommend to me, books, and other articles, that are reliable sources about the teachings of the Catholic Church? thanks in advance!
Farsight, I can afford one, but I just don't have time to go anywhere else besides my workplace...

"My Dear Catholics, is there an easy way to learn about the Catechism of the Catholic Church?"
The best way is to attend an RCIA class & discuss questions you have each week while reading the Catechism; you would probably attend Mass weekly & discuss the Bible readings. RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults; early before RCIA classes are often called the inquiry stage to learn more about the Catholic faith. There are no obligaitions for inquirers.
The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church by Joseph Ratzinger; Pope Benedict XVI is what many RCIA classes use.
"The Compendium, which I now present to the Universal Church, is a faithful and sure synthesis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It contains, in concise form, all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church’s faith, thus constituting, as my Predecessor had wished, a kind of vademecum which allows believers and non-believers alike to behold the entire panorama of the Catholic faith." p. xii
The free online Compendium is here:

The free Catechism & Bible are on the Vatican website here:

An excellent DVD series on the Cathechism is by Fr John Corapi, SOLT. It contains about 50 episodes & he is excellent, but costs $200+. I look for this series which shows Sundays at 8 pm under the television link on: http://www.ewtn.com/
Msgr William Smith passed away last month; he is one of the best spoken priests I have heard:

*Currently the video is not working so I sent them an email.
The Knights of Columbus are an excellent group and offer 2 free online catechism courses here:

Specifically according to the Catechsim of the Catholic Church (not your own opinion, please) is smoking pot a mortal sin? Source?
Thank you "imacatholic". Your answers are always so informative. :)
Thanks, "Meg". If I may ask, what's your personal opinion? (I know I said that's not what I was looking for, in my question, but you specifically answered my question, and now I'm curious to know what you think, based on what your provided).
Marijuana is never mentioned by name. I find the section on drugs VERY confusing and nonsensical. First it is implied that alcohol, tobacco, and medicine (all of which ARE drugs) may be used:
"2290 The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco, or medicine. Those incur grave guilt who, by drunkenness or a love of speed, endanger their own and others' safety on the road, at sea, or in the air."
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__ P80.HTM
But then goes on to say:
"2291 The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human health and life."
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__ P80.HTM
Polio vaccines, penicillin, and sacramental wine inflict "very grave damage on human health and life"?
"Their use, except on strictly therapeutic grounds, is a grave offense."
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__ P80.HTM
Huh? How can I use something that inflicts "very grave damage on human health and life" on "strictly therapeutic grounds"? Isn't that contradictory?
"Clandestine production of and trafficking in drugs are scandalous practices. They constitute direct co-operation in evil, since they encourage people to practices gravely contrary to the moral law."
http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__ P80.HTM
So if I smuggle Tylenol to these poor souls, it is evil?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul /14/zimbabwe.humanrights
When wine was smuggled to priests in concentration camps during WWII so they could secretly celebrate Mass, that was evil?
http://www.ad2000.com.au/articles/1999/m ar1999p10_377.html
>>If I may ask, what's your personal opinion?<<
That it is not a mortal sin, or indeed any sin, assuming the same standards we apply to alcohol (use in moderation, don't drive while under the influence, not for recreational use by minors, etc.).
Because marijuana is no worse than alcohol or tobacco, and because it was criminalized for racist reasons, and because it has proven therapeutic value and yet is being denied to those who would benefit from its use, I consider the laws against it to be unjust, and Catholicism teaches we are not obligated to obey unjust laws.

What is the difference between the Baltimore Catechism and the new Catechism released bt Pope John Paul II?
Does the new Catechism make the Baltimore Catechism void? Do they contradict each other? Is one more accurate?
Thanks.
I haven't come across any contradictions in the two. I will and always have taught the Baltimore Catechism. For the teaching give you the same faith and spirituality. I also recommend every one who wants to learn of our Faith to also use it. The new catechism used today for children are not in league with either the New Catechism or the Baltimore. They, the new children's catechism only give you fluff. These children need to learn faith not fluff. God bless you, Merry Christmas!

A Dependable Resource ~~quot;Catechism of the Catholic Churchquot;
The "Catechism of the Catholic Church" is the definitive source for anyone interested in the teachings of the Catholic Church on almost any topic on which the Church has taken an official position.
The catechism, the first in four centuries, is divided into four parts. Each part is divided into Sections, Chapters, Articles and subordinate divisions. The principles of each article are summarized in a conclusion entitled "In Brief".
The Catechism is well indexed. The footnotes provide citations to sources including the Bible, the writings of the Doctors of the Church, documents of Ecumenical Councils and other authoritative writings.
Part One- "The Profession of Faith", begins with the sources of Revelation, followed by Man's Response to God's Revelation. It concludes with a clause by clause analysis of the ancient Creed of the Church.
...Palm Sunday and the Catechism of the Catholic Church
1992 Justification has been merited for us by the Passion of Christ who offered himself on the cross as a living victim, holy and pleasing to God, and whose blood has become the instrument of atonement for the sins of all men. Justification is conferred in Baptism, the sacrament of faith. It conforms us to the righteousness of God, who makes us inwardly just by the power of his mercy. Its purpose is the glory of God and of Christ, and the gift of eternal life. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, they are justified by his grace as a gift,...
