Baltimore Catechism Summary
The latest catechism is the one approved by Pope John Paul II, and has a great deal more teachings. You'll find many references to the teachings of Vatican Council II which expands our knowledge of current doctrine. It is often shortened in references as the CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church). There is an abbreviated version of this called the Compendium of the Catechism, but it covers the basics of these latest teachings. Searchable CCC
