Do you think a Protestant Catechis is possible?

Is it possible, in your opinion, to write a Protestant Catechism with theological coverage similar to The Catechism of the Catholic Church or is that an impossibility?

Here's an example of one - http://ccc.usccb.org/flipbooks/uscca/

To write? They have a huge one already. Of course it's possible. The famous still used Heidelberg cathechism.
I seriously didn't know the catholics had one too til you wrote about it.

Lol on the Dutch reformed forum it's referred to a lot. My mother had to learn it as a kid. They all do and then at 18 or so they do confession.

Yes, but those ones that you mentioned are Calvinistic Catechisms not a catechism for all of Protestantism.

The first Catholic catechisms for which we still have copies were written in the third or second century AD. I have an edition of saint Augustine's catechism.

There will never be one catechism for all of Protestantism. Now the EO's have one catechism that matches the RC's, don't they?

I do not know if the Orthodox have a single Catechism used in common by all Orthodox jurisdictions.

The singular, individual RC Denomination has an official Catechism (constantly changing, ever-evolving but official for the moment anyway). Many denominations do (although rarely the constantly changing kind). My 1994 RC Catechism is acknowledged by NO other denomination, the individual RC Denomination has a (current) Catechism acknowledged by NO OTHER - unique it it itself alone, individually. There is no Catechism with a more limited embrace than by just one denomination (and even that, just currently) - the reality of the RCC Catechism.


Do you think it is possible that all the "apostolic" denominations (the Catholic ones, the Eastern Orthodox ones, the Oriental Orthodox ones, the Anglican ones, the Mormon ones ) will one day actually have ONE Catechism - all with every word in common - ONE and not a constantly changing chain of them??? Never has been one, of course; not ever. Most of those denomination have one for SELF (currently), for its own individual, singular, unique self - but shared with NONE.

an edition of saint Augustine's catechism.

Is it identical, word-for-word, with the 2865 doctrines of my 1994 Official RC Denomination Catechism? Is it identical - word for word - with that of the Syrian Orthodox Church or Coptic Orthodox Church or the Anglican Church? I suspect not. Do the "apostolic" denominations have ONE Catechism? Does even the one, individual, singular RC Denomination have ONE (or rather a long, long chain of DIFFERENT ones, constantly changing)?

Even Paul had to correct Peter's teachings (catechesis). They should have been the ones to have been cohesive.

[But it is acknowledged by the one holy Catholic and apostolic Church, as all the world gladly acknowledges to be the truth].

After filtering out the redundant adjectives and removing the unnecessarily inflammatory descriptions there is little left in the post that requires a reply. So I presume that your post is more of a statement of your opinions than an attempt at interacting with the thread's topic.

Your post is simply a rebuke of your own denomination since there is no other denomination on the planet with a more unique Catechism with less embrace beyond itself alone than the current RCC one. I think your evasion of that obvious reality is telling. Jesus' "log/speck" point immediate sprang to mind as I read your post.

After correcting your post to remove the irrelevant material there was nothing left that required a reply. I did enjoy the red bold text you inserted into your self-quote. I do enjoy the colours you add to your self-quotes.

MoreCoffee,

The reality is something you cannot/will not accept - so you just delete it, pretending that makes the reality vanish. But since you know that your current 1994 Catholic denomination Catechism is embraced NO WHERE beyond your individual, singular denomination (and even that just CURRENTLY until it is changed), since you know there is no denomination with LESS embrace beyond it itself than yours, I just find your whole premise absurd and a classic (and extreme) example of Jesus' log/speck point.
