It's sad but true. Today's Catholic knows little about their faith. I think they figure that their parish church is like a bus whose destination is heaven and all they have to do is get on, sit down, and ride along. They leave all that heavy believing and church service stuff to those up front where the steering wheel is. They figure that the back of the bus gets to heaven at the same time as the front, so what's the big deal?
I heard a homily at a church in another town 10 years ago. I settled in for another God is love talk, but this time the priest talked about vincible and invincinable ignorance. My ears perked up and I listened intently as the elder cleric held nothing back and challenged those in the pews to learn more and get involved in the most important aspects of their lives here and more importantly hereafter. He's now my spiritual director and I've been helping him bring the message of the univeral Catholic Church to everyone I see. His message is succinct, make your belief orothodox and believe and practice the doctrines, disciplines, teachings and laws of the Magisterium and the holy Catholic Church.

I saw you last night on EWTN and I was so happy that we all might be taught the truth in Mass.
God bless you. My husband and I will pray for this awesome initiative.

This seems like a great initiative -- I would suggest that the catechesis include an introduction to the Catechism - especially the significance of the organic unity of the faith -- that all four pillars interconnect and interact with one another.
I have heard some catechetical homilies that have concentrated on the First Pillar of the Catechism. These homilies were a good start, but it seems to me that it would be a great gift to the congregation for the homilist always to demonstrate the organic sense of our faith -- that faith is celebrated in liturgy and that our Life in Christ is a loving response to the great graces of faith and worship. All of us also need to be rooted in the basics of growing in prayer.
The very structure of the Catechism makes these connections extremely clear in its cross-references and footnotes.
In this way - the catechetical homilies would continue to inter-weave all aspects of the faith - including reference to the many saints who are quoted in the Catechism and are the living examples of the doctrine, worship, morality and prayer LIVED in concrete situations.
Thank you.

The time has come for this-- the fruit of much prayer for our shepherds to stay focused on what needs to be addressed from the pulpit to help us more perfectly live the Gospel in an increasingly pagan world that has forgotten that Jesus died for our sins and purchased our salvation at a very great price. Thank you!
