Catechism for Young Children · Question 6 of 145

Are there more gods than one?

A.There is only one God.

What does this answer mean?

There is only one God. Children will hear about many gods in stories and in other religions. This answer gives them a firm place to stand: there is one true God, and he alone is to be worshiped. It prepares a child to understand the first commandment later.

What can we ask our children?

  1. Are there more gods than one?
  2. How many gods are there?
  3. Who should we worship?
