The Ten Commandments in Roman Catholicism are considered essential for spiritual good health and growth, and serve as the basis for Catholic social teaching |
|
|
The Commandments appear in the earliest Church writings; the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that they have "occupied a predominant place" in teaching the faith since the time of Saint Augustine (AD 354-430) |
|
|
The first Church-wide catechism in 1566 provided "thorough discussions of each commandment", but gave greater emphasis to the seven sacraments |
