Ratzinger, one of the key persons responsible for the compilation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, offers new insights on the catechetical character and Biblical foundation of the worldwide Best selling Catechism that has had such a positive response from ordinary Catholics across the globe. But he acknowledges that the response of many theologians and "professional religionists" has been negative toward the Catechism.
He says that
if theologians don't want to be "shut out" of this worldwide development
of sensus fidei and lose touch with the common Catholic, they will have to engage
the Catechism positively. The main purpose of this book is to offer an invitation
to this changed approach to the Catechism. He wants people to see, as he shows
here, how the Catechism is an excellent teaching tool that responds to man's
deepest questions about the meaning of life, how to live a good life, and how
to attain happiness in this life and in eternal life. He shows how the Catechism
affirms that man's happiness is love, and that the essence of true love has
been manifested in the Person of Jesus Christ.
"This modern Father of the Church offers us a rare insight into how the
Catechism was written and, therefore, how it ought to be interpreted. It is
eminently readable while never sacrificing precision of thought or language."
— Rev. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Editor, The Catholic Answer
