Volume 11 - GAUME Volume 2.
This second installment of Abbé Gaume's monumental, four-part
Catechism of Perseverance encompasses the largest portion of its
credal and moral content: what to believe and what to do, according to the teaching of Jesus Christ. Continuing the "New Adam" pattern of the preceding volume, readers are here invited into union with Christ through the classical pattern of faith, hope, and charity, along with a thorough description of sins and virtues that remains as penetrating and pastoral as it is relevant to our own time. Particularly noteworthy in this volume is Abbé Gaume's explanation of the causes, dynamics, and consequences of social sin; for many cultures, increasingly degraded by social acceptance of grave evils, this volume is a much-needed reminder about their only lasting remedy.
