Because in catechism they are used just like those everpopular catch phrases the motivational speakers are so fond of. If you look at any of these popular phrases you see quickly that they are nonsense that only sounds good if you refuse to think of their meanings. It is possible to have a great deal of fun in rearranging them. It points out their utter foolishness.

First, which could entail examining more suitable than only the quoted section _and_ remembering it. In different words, they could could make reading the Catechism as significant as, say, reading the Bible. I particularly have a reproduction of the Catechism or maybe as i have accomplished some searching in it, to be trustworthy, there are sections the position the translations are truly undesirable, as if the guy(s) doing the translating did not understand the English language. with the exception of, like the later creeds, i detect confusion and contradiction. To me, even as i detect the Catechism a efficient reference device, it isn't accessible _for me_ to ascertain without getting pissed off. yet then, i'm no longer Catholic, both. As for your question, it is a common tactic of critics everywhere: use sound bites (or hence, remoted sentences) to denigrate those being quoted. it truly is area of scare-crow or straw-guy construction that is going on each and each of the time. And it truly is a device of the commerce if you happen to declare to understand more suitable than those who actively stay their faith.

The authors of Catechisms need to mold their writings to fit the quote and vice versa. I don't exempt any 'catechism' from this either.

I can't answer that because I've never heard them in Catechism. I'm not catholic and I try to keep all in context.

Some do, like John 3:16, others, like Ezekiel 23:20 (LOL) don't.
Some verses are in the context of stories, others are parts of Jesus' teaching, others are family geneologies, others still are just numbers of city populations way back when.

You can make anything make sense in relation to something, especially when you need it to support a doctrine. Atheists take things out of context all the time to support their view of reality. It's all relative.

Wow. I'm speechless (which will not stopping me from saying something anyways). First time I have heard you admit that Bible quotes make sense.
There is a God after all.....and miracles still happen.

Because the Bible is a haphazard collection of early Jewish mythology and the schemings of the early Christian church.
