The Official Catechism

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the official, authoritative, and authentic reference text for teaching and transmitting Catholic doctrine. It is an organized presentation of the essential teachings of the Catholic Church in regards to both faith and morals. It is a reference tool to help you grow deeper in your understanding and practice of the faith. A new version of the Catechism was promulgated in 1992. Below are links to the online versions on the Vatican’s website.
