Catechism vs. Catechism

Quote from Volume I, CEC Anthology, page 16.

A very interesting exchange begins on page 64 of Catholic Replies 2 by James Drummey. A writer quotes part of the opening prayer for the Feast of the Chair of Peter (as found in paragraph 424 of the catechism), "All Powerful Father, You have build your church on the rock of St. Peter's confession of faith." Then he asks if this is not Protestant theology?

Mr. Drummey's answer is classic. He first quotes paragraph 424 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This plainly says that it is upon the rock of this faith confessed by Peter that Christ built His church.

Then he quotes paragraph 552, which states it is on Peter that the church was established. Mr Drummey states that he prefers the latter quotation. He admits to "wincing"when the first mentioned formula is quoted, and has taken upon himself to decide which part of the Catechism he will embrace and which he will forego.

It is probably irrelevant to him that the majority of the Church Fathers preferred the sentiment expressed in paragraph 424. He has admitted that there is something in the Catechism that is incorrect. We knew that all along; that is why we use the only infallible source, the Word of God, to settle any questions.
