The Program of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine as Revealed by the Proceedings of the National Catechetical Congresses From 1936-1940
Abstract
According to Olympius Riccius, the founding of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine has been credited to a nobleman, Marco de Sadis-Cusani, about the year 1560. A friend of St. Philip Neri, Enrica Pietra of Piacenza, has been mentioned by some as the founder. The Confraternity was originally composed of priests and laymen, who began Confraternity work by teaching wherever an audience could be found: on street corners, in schools, and in private homes.
