(Vatican Radio) Details of an upcoming conference on Catechism were presented Thursday
at the Holy See Press Office. The International Conference of Catechesis is being
organized by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization as
part of ongoing events for the Year of Faith. There will also be a Day for Catechists
which will run from the 28-29 September. As part of the lead up to the three day
Conference a new Catholic Church Catechism App for Tablet and Smartphone was launched
at the press event. Speaking after the presentation, the President of the Pontifical
Council, Archbishop Rino Fisichella told Lydia O’Kane that it is important for Catholics
to know the Catechism well because, “unfortunately the crisis of faith that we see
every day belongs also to a big lack of knowledge of the main and fundamental contents
of our faith.” The International Conference of Catechesis runs for the 26-28 September.
