Less than a decade later in 1562, the Roman Catechism was commissioned by the Fathers of the Council of Trent, who saw the need for an authoritative explanation of the Faith for the universal Church. Prepared under St. Charles Borromeo's supervision and issued by Pope St. Pius V in 1566, it remains the most authoritative catechism in print. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor modern readers however, the Roman Catechism is rather verbose and hard to read.
