Who wrote the Catechism of the Catholic Church?

[Adeodatus]

This answer is actually an edited quote from the Pope's own words in his letter Fidei Depositum:

"The Catechism is the result of extensive collaboration, prepared over six years by a commission of twelve Cardinals and Bishops, chaired by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, with the task of preparing a draft of the catechism requested by the Synod Fathers (in 1985). An editorial committee of seven diocesan Bishops, experts in theology and catechesis, assisted the commission in its work.

The Catechism was the result of extensive consultation among all Catholic Bishops, their Episcopal Conferences or Synods, and theological and catechetical institutes. It can be said that this Catechism is the result of the collaboration of all the Bishops of the Catholic Church, and the harmony of so many voices truly expresses what could be called the "symphony" of the faith."
