The Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Latin: Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris – C.Ss.R) is a Roman Catholic missionary congregation founded by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori at Scala, near Amalfi, Italy, for the purpose of labouring among the neglected country people in the neighbourhood of Naples. Members of the Congregation, Catholic priests, and consecrated religious brothers, are known as Redemptorists, who are often associated with the image of Our Mother of Perpetual Help and globally minister in more than 77 countries around the world.

A few sentences were missing when talking about Jesus and the Eucharist, which is unfortunate. I liked the condensed version of the Catechism, but I think it’s just better to read the full Catechism still.

[Emily Rhodes · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little too focused on Vatican 2. Otherwise, good content.
