This is so desperately needed! As a Catechist, I thought starting with the youth was the answer, but they are bombarded with evil agendas in the schools, tv shows, news, commercials, movies, and music. I've noticed it does little good to teach the youth when, in addition to all that, their parents contradict the faith at home, out of their bad formation! Both need to be reached with Catholic Doctrine. Being on the Board of Ed I stressed the importance of educating the adults and when I finally had agreement we were forced to use only what our Archdiocese provided and it was so watered down a Protestant would have had know problems with it. It didn't teach doctrine at all. I will pray for Holy Mother Church to see the need for this and say "Yes"! Thank you so much for offering this program!

La ignorancia de la fe está a la raíz de muchos males para la Iglesia y por consiguiente para el mundo, que se pierde de una Iglesia viva, "sal de la tierra" y "luz del mundo". Pero no se puede vivir verdaderamente la fe si no es por amor a Jesús, a Dios y al prójimo. Pero no se puede amar lo que no se conoce, así que el conocimiento de la fe. El proceso efectivo y sistemático para conocer la fe es la catequesis. Por eso, con fundamento también histórico el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica dice que "Los períodos de renovación de la Iglesia son también tiempos en los que a la catequesis le corresponde un mayor empeño" (CIC 8). Como catequista de adultos en mi diócesis y con convicción en el poder transformador de la fe añado mi apoyo a esta iniciativa a que se intregre un espacio catequético en nuestra litúrgia. Es más, hasta sería una forma sistemática de fomentar y enriquecer la participación viva y orante del Pueblo de Dios en la liturgia, que se muestra por lo general ajeno a lo que sucede por ignorancia de los misterios que se celebran y de la fe que los exige, etc.

It is not enough to have the priests teach the same topic. Not all priest will emphasize the same thing. We should also use the electronic media and have common messages available to the entire Catholic Church. We can post them on the web for anyone to access. Most people will not read but can sit and watch a recorded message.
