The Baltimore Catechism, No. 2

The "Baltimore Catechism, No. 2" is a widely recognized book that provides a concise explanation of Christian beliefs and principles. It served as a standard textbook for Catholic schools in the United States for over 80 years, starting from the late 19th century. The catechism was specifically designed for Catholics in North America and replaced an earlier translation of Bellarmine's Small Catechism.

Its enduring popularity demonstrates its value as a resource for understanding the foundations of the Catholic faith.
