St John Paul II wrote of the Catechism of the Catholic Church "as a sure and authentic reference text for teaching Catholic doctrine" Responsibilities to the adherence of copyright laws require our CCCSeries Apps, to connect directly to the Vatican website inside the App. As such, a Wifi connection is required to use the Vatican Links. The Holy See has given the United States Conference of Catholic (USCCB) specific rights and responsibilities regarding the Catechism of the Catholic Church. No edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in any language, may be published in the United States or imported for commercial distribution in the United States without the written permission of the USCCB. Works for academic discourse, e.g. dissertations, scholarly articles, materials intended for use within courses, are exempt from these guidelines provided that all direct and indirect quotes and references are acknowledged. The ENTIRE Catechism of the Catholic Church and ALL 16 Vatican II documents are here and referenced directly from the Vatican website. (NOTE: An Internet connection is required to use this App) Teaching, learning, or just using it as a reference, this is the BEST reference tool!! The beauty and smooth navigation of this App will make it enjoyable! At your fingertips, is the complete Catechism of The Catholic Church and all Vatican II Documents + PLUS a brief summary of the Second Vatican Council, its purpose, and its desired implementation. The Catechism is organized into the four main sections; Beliefs, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer, each section is then subdivided into six subsections and organized by its topic. The Vatican II Documents are group by; the Constitutions, Declarations, and Decrees of the Council. Excellent tool for home-schoolers, catechists, college students, CCE teachers or anyone who simply wants the Catechism of the Catholic Church at your fingers! +JMJ St Clement ePress English translation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church for the United States of America copyright © 1994, United States Catholic Conference, Inc. —Libreria Editrice Vaticana.

Disappointed
This is merely a shell around links to the Vatican website, and you still deal with glitches you wouldn’t encounter, if you just visited that website. Save yourself $1.99 and go bookmark the pages yourself. Maybe I can get apple to refund me the two dollars.
United StatesAdvertised as searchable CCC
I bought this App because the original one missed some of the CCC (e.g., PP 1502).In this version, 1502 is still missing. The improvement it that the App forwards me to the CCC on the Vatican website. The page has a search icon that is not active. 😞Disappointing.
United StatesIndispensable
Links to the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as 16 documents, and a summery of Vatican ll I use this app in my Catechism classes I teach. Handy quick reference. Just be within a WiFi connection and you are good to go. I love having this indispensable app on my phone and with me wherever I am. Works great on the iPad! So grateful for this app!
United StatesJust links to web pages.
The search feature is not working and you are constantly prompted with inaccurate “internet connection required” messages.
United StatesNeed WiFi check
It says I need WiFi to work. I have a good WiFi connection. It still won’t work. Don’t waste your money unless they get rid of this.
United StatesGood Design but a Ripoff
Do not buy this series or the other one. Waste of money. Waste of forgiveness. Waste All in All. It just REFERENCE to Vatican Website. We can all go there and get the info. If the designer was also an App Developer, they should have made this Catechism App a prime tool to use internally with better cross reference and extensive within the App platforms. Get the iPieta App. It's worth all your money.
