What reading level is The Catechism of the Council of Trent book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence, according to the practice of the early Church, when penitents are absolved from their sins, some penance is im- posed on them, the performance of which has commonly been called satisfaction. By the same name is called any sort of punishment endured for sin, although not imposed by the priest, but spontaneously undertaken by the sinner ; but this appertains not unto penance as a sacrament, and that [satisfaction], which, as we have already observed, is ofiered to God for sin conformable w...ith the injunction of the priest, can alone be deemed part of the sacrament, with this qualifi- cation however, that it be accompanied with a deliberate and firm purpose of using every efibrt to avoid sin for the future ; for by many it has been defined thus : To satisfy is to pay due honowr to God ; and this evidently no one can do, who is not resolved entirely to avoid sins. To satisfy is also to cut off the causes of sin, and to close every inlet against its suggestions. In accordance with this idea, some have con- sidered satisfia^tion a cleansing, by which is effaced whatever defilement remains in the soul, in consequence of the stain of sin, and which exempts us from temporal punishments to which we were liable.
