Excerpt from Catechism of the Council of Trent: Translated Into English With Notes, Etc To meet the mischievous activity of such men, and to rear the edifice of Christian knowledge on its only secure and solid basis, the instruction of its authorized teachers; to afford the faithful a fixed standard of Christian belief, and the pastor a prescribed form of religious instruction; to supply a pure and perennial fountain of living waters to refresh and invigorate at once the pastor and the flock, were amongst the important objects contemplated by the Fathers of Trent in the publication and translation of the Roman Catechism. They, too, are amongst the objects contemplated by those who urged the present undertaking, and which influenced the translator's acceptance of the task. Coincidence of circumstances naturally suggests a concurrence of measures; and it requires little discernment to discover the coincidence that exists between the present circumstances of this country and those which awakened and alarmed the vigilance of the Fathers of Trent. Ireland, the empire, has been inundated with pernicious tracts, teeming with vituperative misrepresentation of the dogmas of the Catholic faith, and loaded with unmeasured invective against the principles of Catholic morality.
