→Catechism
King Ferdinand ordered Peter and his companions to write a [[catechism]]. Peter approached Christian doctrine in two parts: Wisdom and Justice. The first issue of the Catechism appeared in 1555 and was an immediate success. Peter produced two more versions; one for middle school students and the other for young children. During his life, his Catechism went through 200 editions and was translated into 12 languages. He begged [[Pope Pius V]] to send yearly subsidies to the Catholic printers of Germany, and to permit German scholars to edit Roman manuscripts. Peter was responsible for the creation of the [[Catholic Press]].<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11756c.htm Blessed Peter Canisius] Catholic Encyclopedia</ref>

The people, the king, and the Pope all wanted to make Peter bishop of Vienna, but Peter declined vigorously.

He wrote: "Outside of this communion— as outside of the Ark of Noah—there is absolutely no salvation for mortals: not to Jews or Pagans who never received the faith of the Church; not to heretics who, having received it, forsook or corrupted it; not to schismatics who left the peace and unity of the Church; finally, neither to excommunicates who for any other serious cause deserved to be put away and separated from the body of the Church like pernicious members... For the rule of Cyprian and Augustine is certain: he will not have God for his Father who would not have the Church for his Mother."<ref name=DoctorsOfTheChurch>[https://es.scribd.com/doc/34239355/Doctors-of-the-Church-on-Extra-Ecclesiam-Nulla-Salus Doctors of The Church On "Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus"]</ref>
