No one can quote from it and find anything that contradicts anything else.
Here is the Catechism of the Catholic Church online, if anyone wants to try to challenge what I said by quoting directly from it.

Paraphrasing from it won't count. It will have to be direct unbroken quotes.
By the way, "Limbo" was never a doctrine of the Catholic Church. It was only a theory that some people had. If you disagree, then show me where it talks about Limbo in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The recent statement from the Pope was almost exactly the same thing that it already said in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. If anyone would read it they would have known that, but a lot of people are ignorant about what the Catholic Church teaches.

Wow, another great question.
I'm a new Catholic and have been studying the catechism. I know in general that the catechism is the Catholic interpretation of the bible, which means its teachings are based on the Word of God. I think people would be hard pressed to find contradictions, since God's Word does not contradict itself.
God bless.

We Catholics have confidence that God might shop whomever He needs. that's not for any individuals to dictate who He might and would possibly not welcome into Heaven. for sure, there's a "proactive" ideas-set to salvation, that's to persist with the Bible as a training Christian. although, this would not ward off the "reactive" present of saving grace, which basically God can bestow, and that completely at His discretion. So. Do Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and so on. bypass to Heaven in the event that they're good human beings? If God needs them to, particular. I easily pray on an commonplace basis, and that i'm particular others do to boot, for the salvation of those "good" souls who might easily be welcomed in have been they Christian. Is Gandhi in heaven? If God had to enable him in, then particular. If He did not, then no. no one has been returned to rfile on the subject one way or the different.

People can ask all sorts of questions about something like that implying the Pope has changed the teachings, but when you ask a question asking people to prove it is in the Catechism it gets under their skin.
It is true that some people believed it as doctrine and told mothers that had lost their babies that they wouldn't go to Heaven, which is very unfortunate. I know of a situation like that. The mother has gone through a trauma and she didn't need anyone saying something like that to her.

Wow, I'd really hope there's no contradiction.
I mean, Catholics basically say that they have the "authority" to add to and change what it says in the bible. And, unlike the bible, the catechism was planned out by one source... not haphazardly thrown together over centuries.
If there were contradictions, it would be REALLY, REALLY depressing how many people swallow it. Right now, it's just REALLY depressing.

The answer to your question may actually lie in the Hierarchy and political structure of the chruch itself. Paul was told that as head of the "Church" on earth, whatever he set forth as .."law"... if you will.... would be carried forth in heaven. It's like the United States Constitution: Open to amendment if something comes up (or someone has the cash)

Sorry I'm not going to bother looking at that link, because I'm sure that anything to do with Catholic writings or teachings would just leave my mind more boggled by their mumble jumble way of talking and communicating. I get really confused when I see words like Holy Eucharist confraternity, transubstantiation, Queen of the star of the see, Blessed Virgin, liturgical, offertory sacraments blah blah blah blah blah............My question to you is? Why do Catholics NEED a second book??? Why is the BIBLE alone NOT ENOUGH????
