It is not clear when the practice of catechism started. Catechumens were mentioned in the Letter to the Galatians by Paul the Apostle whose date was uncertain. It is likely that catechism started early, but developed slowly as the Christian doctrine developed and the need to ensure that the disciples understood it before baptism increased.

Are catechumens priests and deacons?

Catechumens are individuals who are preparing for baptism and initiation into the Christian faith, particularly in the Catholic Church. They are not priests or deacons; rather, they are typically laypeople undergoing spiritual formation. Once they are baptized, they may later pursue ordination if they feel called to become a priest or deacon, but catechumens themselves do not hold any ordained ministry.
