+\maketitle

+\catques{Who made us?}{God made us.}
+
+\catques{Why did God make us?}{God made us to know Him, love Him, 
+and serve Him, and by so doing to gain Heaven.}
+\catques{Are you going to write any actual examples, or just copy
+them all from other catechisms?}{Wait for it; I'm going to write
+some of my own.  The above are verbatim or nearly verbatim from the
+Baltimore Catechism, for those who do not know.}
+\catques{Did you make a package for writing catechisms?  For 
+serious?}{Yes, I did.  I had a number of reasons for this:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item I wanted to typeset one or two for myself.
+\catcomment{This although I've already done so in a very hacked,
+difficult to read and difficult to write style.  But at least I'm
+(hopefully) making it easier for others.}
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item There's one in \textit{Thomistic Salvation}.
+\catcomment{And it's not half bad.  I think it addresses the issues it
+was meant to address pretty thoroughly, in a basic, catechism sort of
+way.}
+\item There's also one in \textit{Officium Parvum}.\label{testlabel}
+\catcomment{This one could use some work.  But it still isn't
+terrible.}
+\end{enumerate}
+\item It's a part of my plan to make a complete Catholic 
+desktop (though what that plan is, exactly, is still somewhat 
+up in the air).
+\catcomment{I'm trying to flesh this idea out a little more.  It will
+at least contain a couple of \LaTeX\ packages and a multilingual
+Scripture-searching tool; hopefully also a Catholic calendar desklet
+and similar items.}
+\end{enumerate}
+} % 
+
+\catques{All right, I guess so.  But it still seems weird.}{Maybe.  
+But I think (hope) it'll bear fruit.
+\catcomment{And I'm very hopeful.  Hope is, after all, one of the
+three theological virtues, and mentioned repeatedly in the Scriptures
+as necessary for us to have.}
+}% 
+
+\catques{Here's a really long question that I'm trying to make 
+wrap onto another line so that we can see how that will behave.  
+Will it behave well?}{Yes, it will behave well.  The algorithm 
+is reasonably obedient and well-behaved.}
+\catques{What about the Scripture citations you often see in
+catechisms?  Can this hooty-falooty package of yours handle those?}{%
+I'm glad you asked.  Yes, this package can easily handle those.
+\catcomment{Even in conjunction with a catcomment, you'll notice;
+versatility (and ease of goal) is always the key.}
+\citetitle
+\scripture{In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
+and the Word was God.}{St.~John 1:1.}
+\scripture{Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the 
+earth? tell me if thou hast understanding.}{Job 38:4}
+}%
+\catques{Finally, how do the labels work with the hacked
+enumerates?}{Well, they work all right, thanks to \texttt{varioref}; 
+in fact, here's one:  \ref{testlabel}.}
+\catques{I want to see some double-digit question numbers.}{I'm
+working on it; only one more question to go.}
+\catques{Finally; do they indent properly and all, at least with the
+defaults?}{Yes, they indent exactly as one would expect.
+\catcomment{Although in this, my first real foray into serious
+\LaTeX\ programming, I found that very little works as expected, and
+one must have a very thorough knowledge of internals to avoid being
+surprised and having to work quite hard to figure out some unexpected
+results.}
