I think it's Latin for "brainwashing" isn't it?
cat?e?chism (kt-kzm)
n.
1. A book giving a brief summary of the basic principles of Catholicism in question-and-answer form.
2. A manual giving basic instruction in a subject, usually by rote or repetition.
3. A body of fundamental principles or beliefs, especially when accepted uncritically: "the core of the catechism of the antinuclear left, the notion that the threat to peace is technological, not political" (George F. Will).
4. A close questioning or examination, as of a political figure.
@Knuckles: I'm a Christian not a Catholic.
