It has been eulogized by Popes, theologians, cardinals, and saints. It was ordered by the Council of Trent, edited under St. Charles Borromeo, and published by decree of St. Pius V. Pope Leo XIII recommended two book for all seminarians--St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica and the Catechism of the Council of Trent.
