After suffering years over the confusion within our Church and lack of knowledge about the Faith I am overwhelmed with excitement about the possibility of going back to basics and having the priests involved. I attempted to have our Parish use the Catechism as the principal book on instructing those going through RCIA. The program was so lame. They would even give an introduction class on how to use the Catechism to the RCIA class.How can a new enquirer maintain their interest in the faith if they don't even know how to use the catechism? When approached by non-Catholics with questions how can they answer correctly? Gee! even the priests might learn their faith once again.
My greatest fear was that once again jingoism was being used to ignite a fire within the whole Church with the phase " Go Evangelize". You can't begin to light a fire if there is no fuel. The Catechism united to Scripture is that fuel. Once those in the pew AND the priest are subjected to this strategy there will be "ah-ha!" moments that will ignite the soul to "know, love and serve" God.
If I may help you in anyway please let me know.

Many Catholics I know, have fallen away from the Church precisely because they don't know anything about it. Please start teaching. Once I learn, I will teach others.
Most classes are attended by the same few people, and no one outside of them really learns anything. I believe a good place to start educating the laity is during the Homily at Mass. At least there, there are certainly many more attending than at those tiny classes. The Priests need to set up almost mandatory classes, with a little fun injected, just like other churches do, and then punch them at every Mass every day. We need to be educated in apologetics and then taught to go door to door in teams of 2, just like the JW's for that is the means by which their church grew so big so rapidly. RosLynn

I support this initiative. I can't tell you how my heart aches to hear more about our faith from our priest and not sugary sermons.

Young people are the victims of cultural Marxism which has pervaded all aspects of society including in particular the Church – the true enemy of Marxism. They are the victims of the "super soft" approach taken in Catholic schools in the west. Too many are exiting our western Catholic school systems and living immoral lives as they have not been taught the true teachings of the Church. They have only been taught partial truths, which means in fact they have been taught a terrible lie, about what the Church truly teaches. So PLEASE DEAR PRIESTS, BE TRUE TO YOUR MAGNIFICENT VOCATION and preach the WHOLE of the Good News!!!!!!!! BE NOT AFRAID!!! God bless you all! Mary

I have to say that my parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel has been blessed with excellent priests. They provide several means for learning about the faith. However, most of these classes are attended by the same group of people over and over. In other words,,,"preaching to the choir". I feel that if all those that attend mass are taught from the Catechism during the homily, they will know the faith better. I support this initiative for all of those who do not put much into learning the faith outside of attending mass.
Our Lady of Good Success..pray for us!
