As a result, the earlier translations from the French into other languages (including English) had to be amended and re-published as "second editions". The Latin typical edition, the official text of reference promulgated on 15 August 1997, amended the contents of the provisional French text at a few points.
In the United States, the English translation was published in 1994 and more than 250,000 copies had been pre-ordered before its release, with a note that it was "subject to revision according to the Latin typical edition ( editio typica) when it is published."
The CCC was published in the French language in 1992. On 15 August 1997-the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary- John Paul II promulgated the Latin typical edition, with his apostolic letter, Laetamur magnopere. The Catechism was promulgated by John Paul II on 11 October 1992, the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, with his apostolic constitution Fidei depositum (in English, The Deposit of Faith). Reminiscing those days, Ratzinger said in 2011: "I must confess that even today it seems a miracle to me that this project was ultimately successful." Ĭardinal Georges Cottier said he had worked on the catechism. The commission was assisted by a committee consisting of seven diocesan bishops, experts in theology and catechesis. John Paul II says that in 1986 he formed a commission composed of 12 cardinals and bishops chaired by cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (who later became Pope Benedict XVI) to prepare the first draft of the Catechism. It must be sound doctrine suited to the present life of Christians." The presentation of doctrine must be biblical and liturgical. The assembly participants expressed the desire that "a catechism or compendium of all Catholic doctrine regarding both faith and morals be composed, that it might be, as it were, a point of reference for the catechisms or compendiums that are prepared in various regions. The decision to publish an official catechism was taken at the Second Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops that was convened by Pope John Paul II on 25 January 1985, to evaluate the progress of implementing the Vatican II council's goals on the 20th anniversary of its closure. It has been translated into and published in more than twenty languages worldwide. It was promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1992 as a reference for the development of local catechisms and as "useful reading for all other Christian faithful". The Catechism of the Catholic Church ( Latin: Catechismus Catholicae Ecclesiae commonly called the Catechism or the CCC) is a reference work that summarizes the Catholic Church's doctrine.
