The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a summarized version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1992. Following the International Catechetical Congress in 2002, Pope St. John Paul II instructed that a synthesis of the Catechism be prepared. The work was entrusted to a Commission of Cardinals presided over by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI. In the Motu Proprio announcing its publication, Pope Benedict XVI described the Compendium as "a faithful and sure synthesis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church." Benedict said the work "contains, in concise form, all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church's faith."
