I AM A CATHOLIC, and my sister is an Evangelical Born again Christian. I go to her Bible studies to learn because the pastors are on fire for Christ and the Scriptures. I GRIEVE for the Holy Catholic Church. I pray for all the priests to be on fire for God and the flock God gave them.. as most of the ones I'm I've met in. The last 70 years on earth seem unconverted... or running away from the people to play golf or something... It's so sad. . I learn from protestants like Charles Stanley or Andy Stanley, his Son... But... They don't have the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. We NEED St. Peter & St. Paul and Holy Apostle to come back. .. And Help and Father Corapi... Whom, I pray for as though he is my son...We are waiting for the Fire of The Holy Spirit. To , Arouse and convert us. . I am praying for your ministry to Be on Fire And bring us back to Hungering for conversion in each of our lives. May Our Lord bestow His richest Blessings upon this Holy work of God. I will tell everyone I can... Thank you. ..

I went to a live seminary for 4 times with different preachers, and when they spoke that we need the Catechism,
I was so surprise to see people around me saying that they don't need it, most of them they never heard of it,
Some don't understand it, and what is more interesting this is people that go regularly to the church,
So I strongly agree that we should have the Catechism involved in mass so that we all can be aware of
The true catholic Church teachings and what is right and wrong for a catholic daily life. God Bless

Four years ago, a converted to Catholicism. There is so much to learn about our faith. The more i read the catechism the more I want to learn. Your proposed programming will bring more knowledge and strength to the faithful and able to defend their faith. It's about time. I know many cradle Catholics who are lacking knowledge of their faith. They are unable to answer a simple question without getting defensive. i pray that it will be fully granted. God Bless You

I heard about this tonight on EWTN. I think it is fantastic. I am really excited about this...Nothing is more needed in the church. I just saw an article on the web site Spirit Daily saying that people are leaving the church because of boring homilies. God Bless you all. Barbara Kleaveland

A few years ago I noticed that some, maybe many, of the teachings I remembered from my 12 years of Catholic School teachings, I remembered wrong. This would be a great way of keeping Church teachings accurate and fresh.

This is a tremendous initiative and cannot wait for it to be implementated. I heard about it today on Imaculate Heart Radio.

Blessings for bring this initiative to light. I heard about it by listening to Immaculate Heart Radio which broadcasts EWTN segments and talks which I enjoy listening to.
After hearing about your interesting talk I was interested in finding out more about this initiative. I have always been a Catholic and always felt there was so much more to learn about my faith than. I bought the catechism, and tried to read it like a text book, but I don't believe I was approaching it correctly. Not only that I found that some of the words went over my simple mind. I love God and my Catholic faith and have thought about Evangelizing more and noticed that talking to other parishioners, they knew less about the Church than I did. A friend of mine would say the homilies were not inspiring or too wordy but have very little substance. In some cases I would agree, but I always believed you only get out what you put in. So I am here today to say that I think your initiative is definitely needed in our Church and in our society. Even members of my own family don't know the beauty and richness of our faith. To Diane's last comment, we do hear the 10 commandments in some way shape or form in the Sunday readings and in the Homilies, bur I feel that it needs to be related to our issues today. Even though our issues today are not very different from ages past, our culture is part of the Internet generation and we want information today more than ever. Ever wonder my Google is so popular in our culture today?
Our Pastors need to be the Google of the Church of Jesus. what I mean when I say that is that we need to be taught as the Apostles were taught. I don't think 1 hour on Sunday is not going to do it. In life, people need to be engaged and enpowered and encouraged to go am make diciples of the world. So many Catholics have fallen away and their faith has been shaken. Our secular world has the media on their side, and we Catholics need to be armed with good sound Apologetics teaching.
I think it would be great if pastors and priests engaged the congregations and held questions and answers sessions, maybe after mass.
I would like to see the priest engage the congregation more fully. I think your idea of a cathecetical lectionary is a great start.
I think Catholics need to be lead by example and the parishes as a whole need to be encourage to participate more parish ministries.
You have my full support and prayers for your initiative.
God Bless
Frank
