The text reads: American Catholic bishops have stated that, though theological opinion was not intended to be a part of CCC,[1] it in fact "does not distinguish between matters of faith and theological opinion."[2]
This is incorrect. The Bishops Conference did not claim that the Catechism confuses theological opinion and matters of faith and doctrine. That was a criticism of the Catechism leveled by a theology professor who is not a bishop. Here's the text cited in footnote 20, which can be found here: http://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/catechism/flawed-expectations/fe-ch6.htm:
"As one instance of how a typical member of the current theological establishment views the Catechism, we may take the views of Fr. Francis Buckley, S.J., a professor of systematic and pastoral theology at the University of San Francisco. Fr. Buckley was one of the Woodstock group of scholars who attacked the draft catechism in the book entitied [p. 207] The Universal Catechism Reader, which, as we noted in Chapter Three, found the draft "fatally flawed".2 His negative view of the completed Catechism proved to be equally pronounced. In an article entitled "What to Do with the New Catechism", Fr. Buckley declares that "it would be a mistake to hand the text of the new Catechism to everyone. It does not distinguish between matters of faith and theological opinion." He probably means the Catechism teaches as part of the doctrine of the faith things the new theologians consider "opinion" and hence subject to change by them."

Does the information about the glitches on the Vatican website deserve to be mentioned in the article? Veverve (talk) 12:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect New Catechism and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 2#New Catechism until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

User:Veverve, I wish you'd be more collaborative rather than merely reverting. What is the POV issue here? The Catechism was prepared by the Church's contemporary experts on its doctrine. Furthermore, no article should have a tautology as its opening sentence; it's weak writing and irritating to read. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 14:31, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
I think there is an onus to find anyone who says so: [1] [2]
there is not merely a repetition of the same words: the Catechism of a Revolutionary is not a catechism. Catechism as a word in the title does not always refer to a content expected in, or to the meaning of the word "catechism".
