Baltimore isn't even very good, either.  It doesn't hold up next to the Penny Catechism (compiled by the same Bp. Challoner whose incisive commentary often accompanies online copies of the Douay-Reims), let alone a modern adult resource not afraid to engage with ideas, like (La Ravoire's) My Catholic Faith.  

Baltimore is worse when it is read as anything but what it was written to be: a teaching aid for children.
