The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Abbreviated CCC) is a compendium of all of the beliefs of the Catholic Church, as compiled by Bl. Pope John Paul II in 1992. It provides a handy reference when curious about the Church's teaching on the subject.
In 2011, a youth-specific version, called the YouCat was published in a more reader-friendly question-and-answer format.
Catholic AnswerWhen John Paul II issued the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, he announced it in his Apostolic Constitution entitled Fidei Depositum. See links below; the following are two sentences from that Constitution:from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994, Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum, by Pope John Paul II:
"On that occasion the Synod Fathers stated: "Very many have expressed the desire that a catechism or compendium of all catholic doctrine regarding both faith and morals be composed, that it might be, as it were, a point of reference for the catechisms or compendiums that are prepared in various regions.
. . .
For this reason we thank the Lord wholeheartedly on this day when we can offer the entire Church this "reference text" entitled the Catechism of the Catholic Church for a catechesis renewed at the living sources of faith!
