Catechism Online

A responsive website for reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a handbook that compiles and explains Church teaching on a wide variety of subjects. Unfortunately, as useful as this text is, it is not easily available to read. While the Vatican and USCCB each host their own version, both present a poor user experience making them sub-optimal both for general reading and reference.

Catechism Online is a web app designed for modern devices. It is designed for readability on any screen size and to be easily navigated, searched, and referenced.
