The catholic-cli is an awesome Catholic Theological knowledge base.
The tool currently has the following functionalities:
- Access information from The Catechism of The Catholic Church,
- Access information from The Roman Missal,
- Access Information from The Canon Law of The Catholic Church
The prerequisite is to have Python 3 installed on your computer.
Type the following command on your terminal to install this.
pip3 install catholic-cli
To do a clean update
pip3 uninstall catholic-cli
pip3 install catholic-cli
Non advanced users can simply type "catholic" in their terminal to start the application. Then you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select the different options.
More advanced users can use the command line tool similar to any other CLI.
Typing --help at any level displays commands and arguments you can provide to the command at that level.
