Letter to Catechetical Publishers on Criteria and Applicability (2013)
Letter from Bishop Leonard P. Blair to Catechetical Publishers on Criteria and Applicability of the Conformity Review Process, September 26, 2013
In the past, publishers indicated the difficulties associated with explaining to their customers in schools and diocesan offices why certain catechetical materials did not have a declaration of conformity, when the materials in question had not been judged by the Subcommittee to be deficient, but were simply ineligible for a conformity review.
In order to clarify eligibility of the conformity review process, the Subcommittee issued a letter on January 2010, entitled The Conformity of Catechetical Materials with the Catechism of the Catholic Church: Criteria and Applicability, which was shared on the USCCB site.
Following the September 5, 2013 meeting, the Subcommittee amended this document to reflect the current standards of criteria and eligibility for the review process.
