Baltimore Catechism on Kindle!

This is fun: the Baltimore Catechism Number 3 is now available for the Kindle book-reader.

Number 3 is the most comprehensive of the series, excluding the teachers' version, which is called Number 4. So this is the one suitable for preparation for Confirmation.

  1. Is it possible to purchase this and send to other people?

    Msgr Loftus maybe, or possibly some selected members of the Bishops Conference?

  3. The best questions and answers catechism is The Catholic Catechism by Cardinal Gasparri. It is available on Kindle as the "Catholic Catechism of Pius X" at the grand sum of 82p. It has the added plus that it is above the criticism that has been levelled at the Baltimore Catechism on a previous post of LMS Chairman.
