catechism

I’ve just spent a week tramping across Venice, a city of more than 250 churches, and where did I encounter the most doctrinaire catechism?

For the last several weeks he has occasionally asked an aide to read aloud his speeches and catechism lessons to spare him the effort.

But he had an aide read his catechism lesson, as he has done for the past several days.

She was my catechism teacher, and she paced our classroom floor while lecturing that, eons ago, all humans had belonged to the same tribe.

They described growing up attending Mass and catechism, only to stop in their early teens after being confirmed.
