i was laughing because after i lol at sara's post about a bad survey, it seemed you jumped in to take the sting out of a catholic saying just what i thought they would. i'm sorry i shoudn't have lol at either of you. please forgive. becky
Therefore I hoped to address it in a cover letter,in advance, so the whole study wasn't filed in the wastebasket. Even if there are only 20 regulars on the thread,their input, if it confirmed my belief,would have allowed me to include the fact that I recognized there were some data that were in error. Incorrect information is a real barrier to understanding and consequent resolution. And as Dave said there is a huge problem in education and catechesis.I was trying to get information to defuse a possible reason to ignore the primary findings which is that Catholics are doing a poor job of teaching and preaching.
Christendom and the safe harbor it provides for so many is on the wane, Islam is on the rise, I think this is not the time to be regaled by each others perceived shortcomings.
