4. Tutor In A CD: Audio Baltimore Catechism

Many parents have let us know that the audio versions have been like having a tutor to help kids review. This is exactly why we made these.

As we had five, six, seven, and eight children; it became hard to find time to review the children's catechism well enough for them to memorize the answers.

We have had many letters from pastors, catechists, teachers and parents who appreciate having a Baltimore Catechism CD to help with the memorizing.

We've had letters from grateful parents whose children were dyslexic or auditory learners, meaning that they learned their catechism answers faster using the audio catechism.

Using headphones was mentioned several times as the biggest help as the headphones or ear buds help block distractions. 'Awesome for auditory learners!

4.A. First Communion Audio Catechism

Once your children or students can pronounce the words, this First Communion Audio Catechism download will help them memorize or review the questions and answers.

You can go directly to the Q&A track number that you want them to memorize.

Put the track on repeat for such answers as the Ten Commandments or the Apostles Creed.

This is awesome review for anyone.

It's also perfect for audio learners, especially if they use headphones or earbuds.

First Communion Audio and Text Files

The prayers are at the end of the First Communion CD to make it easier for children to search for a question and answer track.

The prayers should be learned before the questions and answers, so it is best to start the year previous to preparing to receive the Holy Eucharist.

If you can, have your children start memorizing the prayers early in the First Communion year or even the year before, which might lessen stress during the First Communion year.

Many children already know the last half of the prayers that we use in the Rosary, but they'll usually be required to learn the whole prayer for receiving Communion since these are also used as penances in confession: three Hail Marys, Act of Contrition, etc.

The easiest way to learn the Communion prayers is to say the Rosary every day.

The Living My Religion Baltimore Catechism series used three books to teach the First Communion questions, which shows that the Church has taught that it is usually good to start memorizing the prayers in Kindergarten.

Be sure not to overload children. Ambient learning can be good enough for most of these answers, especially the prayers.

4.B. Catholic Confirmation Audio Catechism

The same is true for your students who use the Confirmation Audio Catechism. They'll be learning or reviewing the Baltimore Catechism answers for Confirmation.

They can even listen to the recording while riding to school or doing light chores - anywhere an MP3 player can go. This is awesome for adults!

Confirmation Audio and Text Files

On the other hand, the Confirmation questions and answers are placed after the Catholic prayers on the Confirmation CD. Older students are able to navigate past them easier than younger students. Refer to the printable text for the numbers on the tracks.

Generally, these CDs are not meant to be listened to all in one pass. This can be fine for an adult catechumen reviewing the Roman Catholic beliefs, but it would not be appropriate for a young child.

The audio catechisms consist only of a list meant to be learned three to five questions per week.

5. Using Audio Catechism CDs Or Downloads

5.A. Preparing For Catechism Quizzes

The audio catechism can relieve some of your burden of drill.

It also helps your student retain many questions for any cumulative review before receiving the sacrament, especially when Father is quizzing the children orally.

Listening to audio clips (above or Communion and Confirmation here) of St. Anne's Helper audio recordings can give you an idea of what the audio Baltimore Catechism CDs (or audio book downloads) sound like. It's nice to have a sample before you buy.

They're high quality digital recordings.

You can keep a copy on your computers and MP3 players or make a CD for safe keeping.

5.B. Catechism Class And Homeschool

Most Catholic parishes and home school programs use the Baltimore Catechism and most of them ask that certain numbers of the answers and Roman Catholic prayers be memorized.

Saint Anne's Helper includes the normal questions that most Communion and Confirmation catechisms have asked, so these are very handy for young Catholic families.

They're timeless so they're a one time purchase. Their answers will always be up to date.

These recordings have two files, even if you buy the CD.

1. The first is the audio file.
2. The second file has a printable text of the audio file. That way you can help your children prepare by knowing exactly what is said.
3. We have an enhanced CD help page here.

5.C. Converting To Catholicism

The audio feature is a Godsend for converting to Catholicism, too!

It's one thing to read books, learn from friends and group meetings; yet it's a big step up to memorize definitions.

Listen to these recordings after you've studied so you can memorize the answers and prayers. Recordings are great for review, too.

• PART THREE: LIFE IN CHRIST
  • SECTION TWO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
    • CHAPTER ONE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND
      • Article 1 THE FIRST COMMANDMENT
        • III. 'You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me'

III. 'You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me'

2110 The first commandmentforbidshonoringgods other than the one Lord who has revealed himself to his people. It proscribessuperstition and irreligion. Superstition in some senserepresents a perverseexcess of religion; irreligion is the vicecontrary by defect to the virtue of religion.

2111Superstition is the deviation of religiousfeeling and of the practices this feelingimposes. It can even affect the worship we offer the trueGod, e.g., when one attributes an importance in some waymagical to certainpractices otherwise lawful or necessary. To attribute the efficacy of prayers or of sacramentalsigns to their mereexternalperformance, apart from the interiordispositions that they demand, is to fall into superstition.⁴¹

2112 The first commandmentcondemnspolytheism. It requiresman neither to believe in, nor to venerate, other divinities than the one trueGod. Scriptureconstantlyrecalls this rejection of 'idols, (of) silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.' These emptyidols make their worshippersempty: 'Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.'⁴²God, however, is the 'livingGod'⁴³ who giveslife and intervenes in history.

2113Idolatry not only refers to falsepaganworship. It remains a constanttemptation to faith. Idolatryconsists in divinizing what is not God. Mancommitsidolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money, etc. Jesussays, 'You cannot serveGod and mammon.'⁴⁴ Many martyrsdied for not adoring 'the Beast'⁴⁵refusing even to simulate such worship. Idolatryrejects the uniqueLordship of God; it is therefore incompatible with communion with God.⁴⁶

2114Humanlifefinds its unity in the adoration of the one God. the commandment to worship the Lord alone integratesman and saves him from an endlessdisintegration. Idolatry is a perversion of man's innatereligioussense. An idolater is someone who 'transfers his indestructiblenotion of God to anything other than God.'⁴⁷

Divination and magic

2115God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a soundChristianattitudeconsists in puttingoneselfconfidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthycuriosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.

2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practicesfalselysupposed to 'unveil' the future.⁴⁸Consultinghoroscopes, astrology, palmreading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other humanbeings, as well as a wish to conciliatehiddenpowers. They contradict the honor, respect, and lovingfear that we owe to God alone.

2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tameoccultpowers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernaturalpower over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravelycontrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearingcharms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often impliesdivination or magicalpractices; the Church for her partwarns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-calledtraditionalcures does not justify either the invocation of evilpowers or the exploitation of another's credulity.

2118God's first commandmentcondemns the mainsins of irreligion: temptingGod, in words or deeds, sacrilege, and simony.

2119TemptingGodconsists in putting his goodness and almightypower to the test by word or deed. Thus Satantried to induceJesus to throw himself down from the Temple and, by this gesture, forceGod to act.⁴⁹JesusopposedSatan with the word of God: 'You shall not put the LORD your God to the test.' ⁵⁰ The challengecontained in such tempting of Godwounds the respect and trust we owe our Creator and Lord. It always harborsdoubt about his love, his providence, and his power.⁵¹

2120Sacrilegeconsists in profaning or treatingunworthily the sacraments and other liturgicalactions, as well as persons, things, or placesconsecrated to God. Sacrilege is a gravesinespecially when committed against the Eucharist, for in this sacrament the trueBody of Christ is made substantiallypresent for us.⁵²

2121Simony is defined as the buying or selling of spiritualthings.⁵³ To Simon the magician, who wanted to buy the spiritualpower he saw at work in the apostles, St. Peterresponded: 'Your silverperish with you, because you thought you could obtainGod's gift with money!'⁵⁴Peter thus held to the words of Jesus: 'You received without pay, give without pay.'⁵⁵ It is impossible to appropriate to oneselfspiritualgoods and behave toward them as their owner or master, for they have their source in God. One can receive them only from him, without payment.

2122 The minister should ask nothing for the administration of the sacraments beyond the offeringsdefined by the competentauthority, always being careful that the needy are not deprived of the help of the sacraments because of their poverty.'⁵⁶ The competentauthoritydetermines these 'offerings' in accordance with the principle that the Christianpeopleought to contribute to the support of the Church's ministers. 'The laborerdeserves his food.'⁵⁷

2123 'Many . . . of our contemporaries either do not at all perceive, or explicitlyreject, this intimate and vitalbond of man to God. Atheism must therefore be regarded as one of the most seriousproblems of our time.'⁵⁸

2124 The name 'atheism' covers many very differentphenomena. One commonform is the practicalmaterialism which restricts its needs and aspirations to space and time. Atheistichumanismfalselyconsidersman to be 'an end to himself, and the solemaker, with supremecontrol, of his own history.'⁵⁹ Another form of contemporaryatheismlooks for the liberation of man through economic and socialliberation. 'It holds that religion, of its very nature, thwarts such emancipation by raisingman's hopes in a futurelife, thus both deceiving him and discouraging him from working for a betterform of life on earth.'⁶⁰

2125 Since it rejects or denies the existence of God, atheism is a sin against the virtue of religion.⁶¹ The imputability of this offense can be significantlydiminished in virtue of the intentions and the circumstances. 'Believers can have more than a little to do with the rise of atheism. To the extent that they are careless about their instruction in the faith, or present its teachingfalsely, or even fail in their religious, moral, or sociallife, they must be said to conceal rather than to reveal the truenature of God and of religion.'⁶²

2126Atheism is often based on a falseconception of humanautonomy, exaggerated to the point of refusing any dependence on God.⁶³ Yet, 'to acknowledgeGod is in no way to oppose the dignity of man, since such dignity is grounded and brought to perfection in God....'⁶⁴ 'For the Churchknowsfull well that her message is in harmony with the most secretdesires of the humanheart.'⁶⁵

2127Agnosticismassumes a number of forms. In certaincases the agnosticrefrains from denyingGod; instead he postulates the existence of a transcendent being which is incapable of revealing itself, and about which nothing can be said. In other cases, the agnostic makes no judgment about God's existence, declaring it impossible to prove, or even to affirm or deny.

2128Agnosticism can sometimes include a certainsearch for God, but it can equallyexpressindifferentism, a flight from the ultimatequestion of existence, and a sluggishmoralconscience. Agnosticism is all too often equivalent to practicalatheism.
