"The United States Catholic Catechism for Adults is an adaptation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1992.  At that time the Pope urged that local catechisms be developed to better address specific situations in different countries. The adult catechism is meant to present Catholic teaching comprehensively and authoritatively but with a view to American culture and experience.  The intended audience includes those who are preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation through the RCIA process,  young adult Catholics, Catholics who may have drifted away from the practice of the faith or lost sight of its treasures, and all who may seek to know more about Catholic belief and practice."
