"The Compendium, which l now present to the Universal Church, is a faithful and sure synthesis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It contains, in concise form, all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church's faith, thus constituting, as my Predecessor had wished, a kind of vademecum, which allows believers and non-believers alike to behold the entire panorama of the Catholic Faith ” In order to realize more fully the Catechism’s potential and in response to the request that had emerged at the International Catechetical Congress of October 2002, Pope John Paul II, in 2003, established a Commission under the presidency of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of faith, which was given the task of drafting a Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, as more concise formulation of its contents of faith.
