YOUCAT Catechism + Catechism of the Catholic Church Series 4 Introduction

YOUCAT Catechism + Catechism of the Catholic Church Series 4 Introduction:

YOUCAT Catechism + Catechism of the Catholic Church Series 4  is presented in an online classroom forum.  It is inspired by Mary Queen of Heaven’s request to Adele Brise in 1859 at Robinsonville: “Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation,” Our Lady instructed Adele.

“ But how shall I teach them who know so little myself?” replied Adele.

“ Teach them,” replied her radiant visitor, “their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the Sacraments; that is what I wish you to do.  Go and fear nothing.  I will help you.”

Robinsonville is now renamed Champion, a very small village 16 miles northeast of Green Bay, WI on County Highway K.  The Marian apparition site was given Church approval in 2010 and is widely known as Our Lady of Good Help. Recently, by action of the Catholic Bishops of America, it is the National Champion Shrine.

 Don L. Bragg, Rhinelander, Wisconsin, USA, is the catechist instructor who assembled the catechism  classroom plan with hyperlink features.  Bragg will be posting this online YOUCAT catechism + Catechism of the Catholic Church Series 4 each day at two locations:  www.facebook.com/youthcatechism and http://roadmapofthecatholicfaith.blogspot.com/  Only the blogspot has hyperlink capability.

The compilers of YOUCAT Catechism have referenced each lesson to the corresponding numbered paragraph(s) of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC).  Don L. Bragg has merged the two catechisms based on the numbered […..] references within the YOUCAT Catechism lessons. This permits each lesson to be hyperlinked through CCC to the cited books of the Bible by chapter and verse and to Church documents that are keyed to numbered footnotes.

The linking of sources in this catechol work will enable the student to look deeply into the heart of Catholic teachings.

I wish to thank St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, 1000 Goodyear Blvd., Picayune, MS 39466, 601-798-4779, stcharlesinfo@gmail.com ,

http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/ccc_toc2.htm  AND  the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, http://www.usccb.org/ for making the source linking possible.

Unfortunately, Facebook’s simple text program does not respond to hyperlinks, but the Blog posting allows you to bring up any of the hyperlinks.  We urge you to go to   http://roadmapofthecatholicfaith.blogspot.com/  to have the advantage of the hyperlinks with each daily lesson posting.

Only the selection of illustrations and the accompanying captions are mine.  ALL of the rest of YOUCAT catechism + Catechism  of the Catholic Church Series 4 is the work of the Catholic Bishops of the World and their committees.  It was Pope St. John Paul II who directed that CCC be written. As a cardinal, Pope Benedict XVI saw CCC and YOUCAT to their completion.  Bragg’s work merely blends together the scholarly catechisms.

Additionally, Bragg will inject the Catholic Sunday Mass Liturgy into this catechism series on a weekly basis.

Don L. Bragg, 88, is a lifelong Catholic who attended the minor seminary at St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota and subsequently completed the 2-year Trappist-Cistercian novitiate at Huntsville, Utah.  He later was a catechist at St. Mary and St. Joseph parishes in Rhinelander.  He recently completed six years(2012-2018) of online catechism as a Blog and Facebook catechist.
