By Cardinal Christoph Schönborn
It is well known that, unlike the Council of Trent, Vatican Council II did not decide to publish its own catechism of the Council. In a certain sense, the Council documents were themselves considered the great catechism of the Church. Twenty years after the Council, many saw things in a different way. Among thepresented by the 1985 Synod of Bishops was one that insistently called on the Pope to provide for the development of a Catechism of Vatican Council II. There was talk of a compendium.
Ratzinger’s conference in Lyon and Paris was undoubtedly a strong boost that encouraged the synodal fathers to ask John Paul II to contemplate something similar for our times. I think it is important to underscore above all Cardinal Ratzinger’s contribution to that work. His guidance, his spirit and his inspiration were decisive. The first thing and also the most important one, is that he truly believed in this project. From the first day, there was bitter debate on the meaning that it could have and on the possibility of preparing a compendium of the faith that could be applied to the whole world.
