YOUCAT: Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church - Australia & New Zealand Ed.

I invtive you, therefore, to read this book with confidence. In fact, I would dare to say: love this book, because it is the fruit of love. You will discover that it has no other purpose then to awaken or re-awaken in you a great love for Jesus. This is its sole purpose. Pope Francis, Foreword of the YOUCAT

YOUCAT is short for Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is the offical catechism for World Youth Day. Written for high-schoo age people and young adults. YOUCAT is an accessible, contemporary expression of the Catholic Faith. The popular format includes questions and answers, highly-readable commentary, margin picutres and illustruations, summary definitions of key terms, Bible citations and qoutes from the Saints and other great teachers. What's more, YOUCAT is keyed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, so people can go deeper. it explains:

i, What Catholics believe (doctrine).

i, How they celebrate the mysteries of the Faith (sacraments).

i, How Catholics are to live (moral life).

i, How they should pray (prayer and spiritually). 

The questions are direct and honest, even at times tough; the answers straightforward, relevant, and compelling. After the Bible, YOUCAT will likely become the " go-to " place for young people to learn the turht about the Catholic faith. Pope Benedict XVI wrote the foreword; Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the editor of YOUCAT and the Archbishop of Vienna, Austria, wrote the afterword.
