Roman Catholic AnswerThere have been several popes who have come out with various famous catechisms: Pope Pius V issued the Catechism of the Council of Trent in the 16th century. Pope John Paul II issued the Catechism of the Catholic Church in 1995, and Pope Benedict XVI issued the second edition of that several years ago.

However, the Pope who is known as the Pope of the Catechism was Pope Pius X who was Pope up until the beginning of the First World War. He issued what is now known as the The Catechism of Pope Saint Pius X at the beginning of the twentieth century. Pope Pius X was also justly famous for lowering the age of First Holy Communion to the age of reason, around seven years old.
