Breve biografia
Peter Canisius, S.J. (Dutch: Pieter Kanis), (8 May 1521 – 21 December 1597) was an important Jesuit Catholic priest who supported the Catholic faith during the Protestant Reformation in Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, and Switzerland. The restoration of the Catholic Church in Germany after the Protestant Reformation is largely attributed to the work there of the Society of Jesus, which he led. He is venerated in the Catholic Church as a saint and as a Doctor of the Church.

Recensioni

A Small Catechism for Catholics is the shortest of Canisius's three catechism written in response to the advent of Protestantism as part of the Counter-Reformation. It's a short, concise guide to the Catholic faith, and there is a list of Bible verses worth memorizing appendixes to the end. Originally written in Latin for 9-14 year-olds, it is probably best utilized today by older teens and adults. For anyone looking for a good, short, orthodox Catholic catechism.
