Greater Catechism
The Greater Catechism promulgated by Pope Saint Pius X on 14 June 1905 for the Diocese and Province of Rome. A full edition in roughly 993 questions and answers, distinct from the shorter Catechism of Christian Doctrine of 1912. Includes the editor's notice, the letter of promulgation, the Daily Prayers and other devotions (morning and evening prayers, acts of faith/hope/charity/contrition, preparation for Confession and Holy Communion, Mysteries of the Rosary, how to serve at Holy Mass), the First Notions of catechism, the Preliminary Lesson, and the five canonical Parts: Creed, Prayer, Commandments, Sacraments, Virtues.
