Hat tip to Fr. Stephanos O.S.B. , who is a contributing author to a new blog group called the Catholic Catechism Dialogue Blog. This is a devotional and practical dialogue amongst Christians while reading the complete Catechism of the Catholic Church in one year. Fr. Stephanous writes about the New Testament as an inspired outgrowth of catechism. Here is some background he shares about the word "catechism": + catechize + The first reading at Easter morning Mass is from the tenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. St. Peter is speaking.
Jesus rose from the dead. The apostles witnessed him, and they preached and testified about him to other people by word of mouth--that is, they catechized others. The writings we call the New Testament are the inspired, written outgrowth of this catechesis. Without the catechizing apostolic Church, it is not possible to understand the New Testament according to the mind of God who commissioned the apostolic Church to preach and testify. Catholics and non-Catholics alike are invited to join this dialogue blog. The reading plan includes a one year schedule for reading the Bible and CCC with daily commentary by multiple contributors. This is not only an opportunity for spiritual growth, but an opportunity for anyone to explore what Catholics really believe.
