I want to learn more about Catholic church history, because I find history in general really interesting, but I don't know where to find a catechism from the time of Vatican I. I want to see how it compares to a modern catechism.

I post this here because I really like this bible that I just received, and also because many people in this sub are apparently unaware of r/catholicbibles, where you can learn about all of the Catholic bible translations available.

Hi all, I don’t have catholic friends I can discuss this with so figured I could see what this thread has to say.
