Similarities- these two curriculums are very similar as they are written by a similar group of people. These curriculums were written around the same time with the intention that they would build off of one another and lead towards a better understanding of the catholic church, its teachings and how to live it out in our world today. Both curricula have aspects of factual, historical, biblical, canonical, and personal teachings that all point toward a life lived for Christ.
