The Prologue to this First Edition (1994) of the Catechism explains, "This work is intended primarily for those responsible for catechesis: first of all the bishops, as teachers of the faith and pastors of the Church. It is offered to them as an instrument in fulfilling their responsibility of teaching the People of God. Through the bishops, it is addressed to redactors of catechisms, to priests, and to catechists. It will also be useful reading for all other Christian faithful." [III.12] Although stating that "There will be no further Revelation," it adds, "Yet even if Revelation if already complete, it has not been made completely explicit; it remains for Christian faith gradually to grasp its full significance over the course of the centuries." [66]Of the Problem of Evil, it says, "But why did God not create a world so perfect that no evil could exist in it?... God freely willed to create a world 'in a state of journeying' toward its ultimate perfection... With physical good there exists also physical evil as creation has not reached perfection. Angels and men, as intelligent and free creatures... can therefore go astray... Thus has MORAL EVIL… entered the world. God is in no way... the cause of moral evil. He permits it, however, because he respects the freedom of his creatures..." [310, 311] Of the responsibility for Jesus' death, it states, "The personal sin of the participants (Judas, the Sanhedrin, Pilate) is known to God alone. Hence we cannot lay responsibility for the trial on the Jews in Jerusalem as a whole, despite the outcry of a manipulated crowd... Jesus himself, in forgiving them on the cross, and Peter in following suit, both accept 'the ignorance' of the Jews of Jerusalem and even of their leaders [Lk 23:34, Acts 3:17].
