GERMAN EDITION OF FAITH AND LIFE

CUF’s critically acclaimed Faith and Life elementary catechism series is now available in German. The “Glaube und Leben” series meets a real need for sound catechesis in Austria, where the new edition was translated and published.

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna and general editor of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, wrote the following in his foreword to the German edition (translated into English by Madeleine Stebbins):

“The appearance of the reworked German edition, Glaube und Leben, of the American Faith and Life catechism is a cause of great joy. For the past two decades, Faith and Life has proven to be an excellent series for religious instruction in schools and family catechesis in the home. I know families who use this faith series and bear witness to the excellent fruit it has brought forth. To all who wish to transmit the faith to children in schools or in the home, I recommend the Faith and Life series as a textbook of refreshing and high quality. Pray God this catechism series will give a strong impetus to the transmission of the faith and of Christian life in the German-speaking world.”

From Our Founder

I also agree that the laity generally are still too passive (that is, when they’re not too aggressively active!). That is really one of the basic reasons for the existence of CUF: to be a little alarm clock to wake people up, and then a center around which they can rally, and act in the way befitting members of Christ’s true Church. . . . The situation keeps changing, and it’s important that the laity try to act under some kind of coordination, which only an organization like CUF can provide.
