The first new compendium in more than 400 years, the second edition of the Catechism stands, in the words of Pope John Paul II, as "a sure norm for teaching the faith" and an "authentic reference text."

First, the second edition reflects the changes that were made in the final Latin text in 1997. Second, the second edition includes a new index.
