The "United States Catholic Catechism for Adults" is an adaptation of the "Catechism of the Catholic Church", and it is presented to Catholics of the United States who are members of both Latin and Eastern Churches, with the understanding that the Eastern Churches may develop their own catechisms for adults emphasizing their own traditions.This text follows the "Catechism"'s arrangement of "The Creed"; "The Sacraments"; "Moral Life"; and "Prayer." It emphasizes the Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Sacraments, moral principles, and the heritage of the Doctors and saints of the Church. It is an organic and systematic expression of the Apostolic Tradition, expressed in an inspired way in Sacred Scripture and authoritatively interpreted by the Magisterium of the Church. This text also reflects the sacramental language, practice, and discipline of the Eastern Churches to the degree necessary to provide basic information to Latin Catholics about the Eastern Churches.
