The ''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' (or ''CCC'') is a catechism promulgated for the Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II in 1992.〔〔 It sums up, in book form, the beliefs of the Catholic faithful. == Publication history == The decision to publish a catechism was taken at the Extraordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops that was convened by Pope John Paul II on 25 January 1985 for the 20th anniversary of the close of the Second Vatican Council, and in 1986, put a commission composed of 12 bishops and cardinals in charge of the project. The commission was assisted by a committee consisting seven diocesan bishops, experts in theology and catechesis.〔 The text was approved by John Paul II on 25 June 1992, and promulgated by him on 11 October 1992, the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, with his apostolic constitution, ''Fidei depositum''.〔 Cardinal Georges Cottier, Theologian emeritus of the Pontifical Household and now Cardinal-Deacon of ''Santi Domenico e Sisto'' the University Church of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum''〔("Titular Churches of the new Cardinals" ), Consistory of October 21, 2003. ''vatican.va.'' Accessed 1 February 2014.; ("Cottier, Card. Georges Marie Martin, O.P." ), College of Cardinals, Biographical notes. ''vatican.va.'' Accessed 1 February 2014.〕 was influential in drafting the encyclical.〔In an interview in (''30Days'', 3-2004 ) Cottier remarked: "Going back to the early years, the first 'big' text I worked on was the social encyclical ''Centesimus annus''. And then the ''Ut unum sint'' on ecumenicalism, the moral encyclical ''Veritatis splendor'', and the ''Fides et ratio''… also the ''Catechism of the Catholic Church''". Accessed 1 February 2014.〕 It was published in the French language in 1992. Later it was then translated into many other languages. In the United States, the English translation was published by the U.S. bishops in 1994,〔copyright 1994, United States Catholic Conference, Inc., Libreria Editrice Vaticana〕 with a note that it was "subject to revision according to the Latin typical edition (''editio typica'') when it is published."〔Copyright Information, p. ii.)〕 On August 15, 1997—the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary— John Paul II promulgated the Latin typical edition, with his apostolic letter, ''Laetamur Magnopere''.〔The Latin-text copyright is 1994, 1997, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, Citta del Vaticano.〕 The Latin text, which became the official text of reference (''editio typica''), amended the contents of the provisional French text at a few points.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Modifications from the Editio Typica )〕 One of the changes consisted in the inclusion of the position on death penalty that is defended in John Paul II's encyclical ''Evangelium Vitae'' of 1995.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The death penalty and the catechism )〕 As a result, the earlier translations from the French into other languages (including English) had to be amended and re-published as "second editions".〔In the U.S., the bishops then published a new English translation, from the official Latin text. (English translation of the ''Catechism of the Catholic Church: Modifications from the Editio Typica'', copyright 1997, United States Catholic Conference, Inc.—Libreria Editrice Vaticana.) The U.S. bishops added a "Glossary and ''Index Analyticus''" (copyright 2000, United States Catholic Conference, Inc.) and published the new translation, with glossary and index, as the ''Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition,'' "revised in accordance with the official Latin text promulgated by John Paul II".
