About the Tradivox Catholic Catechism Series

From the brief “penny” catechisms of the 16th century to our own late 20th-century Catechism, scores of faithful priests, bishops, popes, saints, and even church councils have, for Catholics young and old, published succinct, reliable summaries of our Church’s perennial teachings: catechisms.

In them, readers have encountered Catholic doctrine presented in refreshingly clear and even elegant language, often accompanied by handsome woodcuts on lovely pages.

Now, for the first time ever, dozens of vintage catechisms are being unearthed and painstakingly restored. They are being reformatted for publication and presented to you in this extraordinary 20-volume, cross-indexed collection.

Ranging from the 1200s to the mid-1900s, the historical catechisms of Catholic doctrine featured in this series include both well-known titles and others that have not been printed or read in centuries.

“I invite the faithful of the entire world to support this historic effort, as we seek to restore the perennial Catechism of the Church.”

– Bishop Schneider

Originating from regions as diverse as Italy, France, Germany, Spain, England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and North America, the catechisms contained in this series showcase like nothing else the remarkable universality and doctrinal consistency of the Catholic Faith.

Historical treasures such as the world-renowned Catechism of the Ecumenical Council of Trent and Pope St. Pius V, those of the Synods of Maynooth and Baltimore, and the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X are included in this collection, as are those classical handbooks of Catholic doctrine authored by the great Doctors of the Church St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Peter Canisius, and St. Robert Bellarmine.

Editorial Reviews

May God bless the work of Tradivox and make it redound to His glory and to the salvation of countless souls.

Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke

Tradivox promises to be a treasury of truth and tradition that is desperately needed in the world today.

Bishop Joseph Strickland

Intelligently and in a resourceful way, Tradivox presents ancient truths easily and in a user-friendly manner, especially to our young Catholic faithful who are often desirous of knowing the depths of the faith yet do not know where to start.

Gerhard Cardinal Müller

In a time of turbulence like ours, a project that confidently conveys the consistency and authority of the Catholic Church is urgently needed and will be of great consolation to the faithful.

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski
