I had to look up the word catechism at Merriam-Webster. I know it's getting ahead of things, but in looking up differences between what I thought I knew, and wanting to find a copy to download and read, I wondered at the word.
To my horror, I find that Catechism's first meaning is: Oral Instruction. What? Then second, it's a summary of religious doctrine put to question and answer. What?
I thought the Bible was the Ultimate book. I didn't know there was a separate book for Catholics (Not to be confused with saying I am Catholic, as I am not). I mean, I've heard, but obviously, haven't read it and decidedly want to know what they believe. To get to the bottom of things in my mind, I suppose.
All this questioning occurred when I asked Google the differences in Christianity. I clicked on is Roman Catholicism and Christianity the Same Thing? Here's the link:
So that's some reading to digest on my part. Again, I'm jumping ahead. This blog isn't all about Christianity and Catholics. I've got much to impart about other topics and how they mesh together, such as consciousness, reality and science. Also discoveries about history and government and how they seem to go hand in hand with religion.
