Subject Cross Reference Index of The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Please note - Your browser will "hang up" for a while after loading about 99% (612K) of this document. Don't panic; this is normal. Your computer is figuring out how to display this document on your screen

This index appears in the hypertext Catechism of the Catholic Church just before the abbreviations. It is presented here to allow users to search it before downloading the entire three megabyte(!) hypertext Catechism. You can scroll around in this index to find the subjects you are looking for. The named links (i. e. Gospel) will take you to the appropriate place in this index (which is already downloaded to your hard disk) lightning fast!

Scattered along the right side of this index are little "cross reference symbols" (†). and "Catechism symbols" (©). Clicking on one of these or any of the numbered links (i. e. 1234) will download the entire 3 MB Catechism in a new window. There is an index exactly like this one in that document. The † symbols take you to the top of it; the © symbols will take you to the beginning of the text. EITHER ONE OPENS THE CATECHISM IN ANOTHER WINDOW. To see how this works, take a look at the site map. Once you have downloaded the whole Catechism, you can scroll around in that index without having to reload anything. Trust me, you only want to download the entire Catechism once! (Note - Your browser will "hang up" for a bit after loading about 26% (771K), 39% (1157K), 45% (1334K), 54% (1601K), 61% (1809K) and 98% (2906K) of the Catechism. This is normal. There are huge tables that your computer needs to format. Don't quit; it's worth the wait!)

Hypertext markup language permits much more cross-indexing capability than the printed text. For this reason, I have provided links which I think might help a user search the index, and which are, of course, not in the printed version. What you see is, however, as close as I could get to presenting the information as it appears in the printed text, except for italics, which I have so far not incorporated.

In printed texts, the main entry words are printed in bold type as are references to definitions or exact descriptions (for example, Angels; demons: 327-330). References to "In Brief" entries in some texts are printed in italics . The sub-headings that follow main entries provide additional information about the same or closely related topics (for example: Abraham: call of Abraham: 59, 72, 762). Cross references with "see:" or "see also:" supply information about relevant main entry words. The primary objective of the Church publishers in constructing this index was to provide the most comprehensive survey possible of the contents, not the most complete listing of all references to a given subject.

God Bless.
