FishEaters strives to do this by showing Protestants the errors of Protestantism and by teaching Catholics to recognize what is and isn’t Catholic. FishEaters wishes to inspire Catholics to do all in their power:to fight to preserve the traditional Mass and all the other traditional Sacramental rites, to learn, teach, and guard every last drop of the Faith in the same way that Catholics have learned, taught, and guarded it for two millennia, to practice traditional devotions and popular customs that have always served to build strong Catholic families and communities, and to keep us all close to Christ

The Catechism
The Role of the Catechism of the Catholic Church https://www.aboutcatholics.com/beliefs/the-role-of-the-catechism-of-the-catholic-church/
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a teaching tool. It is a concise explanation of Catholic beliefs. The Catechism includes quotations from many papal encyclicals, church council documents, and the Scriptures. It refers to these as reference points for Catholic teachings. Although it is important, the Catechism is not considered a sacred text like the Bible. In fact, the Catechism we have now is fairly recent, although it describes ancient beliefs. The catechism helps to consolidate all of the Church’s teachings into a handy reference.
The purpose of the Catechism
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is intended primarily to explain the teachings of the Catholic faith. It is an excellent reference for the Catholic faithful. It is also a great resource for non-Catholics interested in learning what the Church really teaches. Many misunderstandings about the Church’s teachings on controversial issues can be resolved by looking at what the Catechism says about Catholic beliefs.
A Brief History of Catechisms
The word catechism has it roots in the Greek word katechizo meaning to teach by word of mouth. Prior to the invention of the printing press the primary method of communication was oral. It would have been impossible for the average person to have a copy of the Bible or Church documents. An early church catechist would speak a teaching of the Church and instruct the listener to repeat it until it was learned by heart.
What the Catholic Church actually teaches can be found in these Catechisms of the Catholic Church.
