III. The Aim and Intended Readershipof the Catechism
11 This catechism aims at presenting an organic synthesis of the
essential and fundamental contents of Catholic doctrine, as regards
both faith and morals, in the light of the Second Vatican Council and
the whole of the Church's Tradition. Its principal sources are the
Sacred Scriptures, the Fathers of the Church, the liturgy, and the
Church's Magisterium. It is intended to serve "as a point of
reference for the catechisms or compendia that are composed in the
various countries".15
12 This work is intended primarily for those responsible for
catechesis: first of all the bishops, as teachers of the faith and
pastors of the Church. It is offered to them as an instrument in
fulfilling their responsibility of teaching the People of God. Through
the bishops, it is addressed to redactors of catechisms, to priests,
and to catechists. It will also be useful reading for all other
Christian faithful.
