Riassunto

Excerpt from The Catechumen: An Aid to the Intelligent Knowledge of the Catechism

Aim of this Book - With the View of helping those who are aiming at making religious know ledge more intelligent and practical, and at the request of some who are engaged in this work, I have written the following pages. The book does not pretend to be anything very original, or higher and better than other books of religious instructions, but rather something less than they are - something more easy,simple, and intelligible, dressed up to meet a present want. Certainly it is intended to do more than can be done by compendiums, abridgments, and other cram-books, which, if useful in their own place, yet tend to make religious knowledge - and sometimes this is professed and defended - an affair of memory. The aim of this little book is, on the contrary, to make it interesting and intelligent. Knowledge consists not in any number of facts hung up on independent pegs in the memory, or thrown together into the same tub, but in the re lation of one fact to another, and the connection of each fact with its cause and consequences. And while the facts of any science, taken by themselves, are dry, the connection and relationship between them is instructive and highly interesting. More over, the facts, when connected, mutually support each other, and cannot easily be pulled down.
