I watched you on TV last night. I haven't gone through your website yet but I agree with your objectives. I'm a Carmelite Third Order and I find myself teaching a lot, in the RCIA, in the CCD, and in our community. I also write about a saint every Sunday in our parish bulletin. And this is the medium I use where I try to teach the "public", the joy of making God the center of our lives, in a very subtle way. There is always something about the life of a saint that we can imitate.

Priests should mention saints that exemplify the teaching in the readings and in the gospels.

Keep up the good work. Blessings and graces in Carmel!

As a convert to the Catholic faith, I fully support this initiative. It would enable all Catholics to better understand what the church teaches.

For years our bishops and priests have lamented the lack of catechesis in our church but no one has done anything about it. I firmly believe that Catholics need to hear from the pulpit what their church teaches. For too many Catholics, Sunday Mass is their only connection with the church. They didn't attend Catholic schools and don't do any reading to educate themselves about their faith. In short, they don't know what the church teaches and don't know what they are supposed to believe. Each generation gets worse because as parents, these adults don't have the knowledge to properly instruct their children. I really think Vatican II missed the boat when it changed the focus from sermons to homilies. I have ears and can hear the readings at Mass. Most Catholics are educated enough to figure out how those readings apply to them. I don't need a regurgitation of the readings in a homely. I can get that at the Baptist Church or Methodist Church down the street. What I need from my Catholic Church is more than that.
God bless you in your efforts to bring about this important transformation.

Your initiative goes to the heart of the problem today - ignorance of our Catholic Faith. Forty-plus years of confusion and scandal have had the expected effect. What you're proposing is the only way to win back souls. I applaud your efforts and will pray for you. God bless.

As a convert, formerly an evangelical Pentecostal, still Charismatic and deeply devoted to the Eucharistic, I trouble at what seems to be a lesser evangelical effort in my Catholic community. It makes me sad that so many of the cradle Catholics around me know so little about the great gift of the Catholic faith they were given from the beginning. Why don't they understand what they have? Why don't they want to go out and tell the whole world? I don't understand. It makes me most sad that they feel so uncomfortable talking about their faith. They have the "great pearl" l but it just seems so familiar to the them, their is no awe nor wonder. This is the only thing to which I can attribute their unwillingness to share their faith. I ponder this a lot and pray. I have recently been very encouraged by Weigel's "Evangelical Catholicism."

I believe that good catechesis, which I for most the part sought and learned on my own, relating the same to the scriptures as this program describes, would propel the Church forward. I would like to see this come about and will be in prayer for the same.

"Open my eyes to see clearly the wonders of Your teachings." Ps. 119:18
It is with a grateful heart I offer my prayers and support for your initiative.
We must, indeed, KNOW what our Lord Jesus and His Church teaches
so we can faithfully bear witness to Him and proclaim the gospel as He
has called us to do..... May God bless you and your efforts.
