What This Skill Does
Answers questions about Catholicism using a Catechism-first approach with structured citations. Includes a local CCC topic map, prayer snippets, and a tone guide. Distinguishes dogma, doctrine, discipline, and prudential judgment where relevant.
Cites primary sources like the CCC and Scripture directly rather than relying on paraphrased or unverified secondary summaries.
When to use it
- Looking up CCC sections on a specific Catholic teaching
- Preparing RCIA class explanations for new Catholics
- Answering a friend's question about Catholic sacraments with citations
- Finding the text of a traditional Catholic prayer
- Getting a cited response on moral theology basics
