Commandments of the Church

Church commandments are specific statements of the Catholic Church that are binding on the faithful.

History

The church bids have emerged in the early Middle Ages from the catechetical and Beichtliteratur and vary greatly in number, content and order in part. Antoninus of Florence is one of 1439 ten commandments of the Church, in the Anglo -Saxon countries (England, USA) is known since the 19th century ( " Baltimore Catechism " 1885-1960 ) six church commandments, just as the French catechisms Fleury and Pouget. Peter Canisius calls in his widespread Catechism ( 1555) five church commandments as the Spanish canonist Martin Aspilcueta 1586th

The Catechism of the Catholic Church calls in the 1997 version under No. 2042-2043 Church five bids:

The first edition of the KKK in 1993 had called the holidays offered as the fourth commandment church and also without count it as another church canon, supplemented, the faithful are obliged to "contribute their capabilities to the material needs of the Church". The revised Latin version of 1997 anticipates the requirement to keep the offered Holidays, for the first church commandment added, which is then:. "Thou shalt on the day of the Lord and the other holy days of listening to the show and you contain knechtlicher work" This numbering follows also published in 2005 Compendium of the Catechism.

The praise of God (No. 67 old, No. 29.7 new) summarizes the second and third church canon and adds the support of the church as a church fifth commandment.
