I was so pleased to see that there is an initiative to teach the Catachism. I am 58 years old and was raised during the confusion post Vatican 2, when many priests and laity were unsure of what the Church was really teaching. Of course Vatican 2 was started with a vision of making the understanding of the Church more accessible to the laity, but with the media and people with different agendas confused things. I am currently taking the Pillars program at our Church and have learned more about my religion in all the years I have been Catholic, which is all my life. I even went to Catholic schools. Thank God we have the Catachism and the Compendium!!! We have a Great Faith and 1 Holy Apotolic Church with the TRUTH! Let us spread our faith after we truly Learn our Faith~!

I found out about this when I watched the program on EWTN. Very much needed.

This idea is solid. I think it is a good answer to the ever growing ignorance of Catholics about what they should believe and know. St. Paul reminds us to be always ready to give an account of our faith, but this is hardly possible unless we know it. Benedict's Compendium is I think a return to the famous Baltimore Catechism question and answer approach to teaching the faith. I think many Catholics who are ignorant of the faith and therefore practice it poorly or not at all, would be devout if they just knew what to believe and what God and the Church expect of them. This to me *is* a prudent and necessary way to implement the new evangelization.

I'm sure you've discussed the possibility of publishing a new catechism which corresponds to the existing readings instead of changing the readings to accommodate the Compendium and/or Catechism. It seems as thought you may achieve the same end with less resistance. What are your thoughts?
Great work Craig and Family. God Bless!

We need to teach/defend/evangelize! So many, Protestant friends of mine challenge me on my Catholic beliefs and when I give them answers they are amazed. They often comment that they never knew or heard a Catholic who was able to respond to them before. Many Catholics I know want to know why they were never taught the things I share with them. I fully support this Grassroots effort and pray to God for it's implementation! The season is now!
