Catechism for Filipino Catholics (CFC)

This is the official Vatican approved National Catholic Catechism for the Philippines, entitled Catechism for Filipino Catholics [CFC]. As a national catechism, one major function of the CFC has been to draw together two major current sources for our “renewed catechesis.” The first is the official Catholic teaching of the universal Church as proposed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], promulgated by the Pope in 1992. The second is the Acts and Decrees of the 2nd Plenary Council of the Philippines [PCP II], with its supplement, the National Pastoral Plan [NPP], which together present a comprehensive view of the national culture and specific catechetical situation of the Philippine Church. This officially approved edition of the CFC is offered by the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines [CBCP] as a major effort in implementing PCP II’s urgent call for a triple renewal: a renewed “Catechesis” which in turn will contribute substantially to a renewed “Worship” and “Social Apostolate.”
