Cardinal Praises Didache Texts

Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago, said of Introduction to Catholicism and Our Moral Life in Christ, “These two books of the series respond well to a request I made three years ago for high school texts that would set out clearly and adequately the teaching of the Catholic Church.

“They offer an approach to that teaching substantial enough to win the respect and interest of students.

“Scripture, the liturgy, the writings of the Church Fathers, the teaching of Vatican II, of the Popes, and The Catechism of the Catholic Church make up their rich content.

“I warmly recommend these two books to high school teachers and students, to those responsible for the RCIA and to all who serve in positions of lay ecclesial ministry.”
