Thanks for that great post,that is exactly how we will overcome. Too many well formed Catholics do not want to take the time to even attend these heretical catechism classes because "it's a waste of time",let alone volunteer to teach them. And yet that is where we can make more inroads in exposing all Catholics to the Truth of the Faith. If every Freeper on these threads would go to a series of catechism classs armed with the new Catechism and the Bible,the fruit would be immeasurable.

If they took a couple of like minded Catholics with them and positioned themselves around the classroom,the results would be astounding,as long as they keep it pleasant or at least unemotional.

Are you still teaching? And what dioscese are you in? Good to see you back on the threads,I missed you.

Thanks for the attaboy.

1. Your comments are absolutely accurate - this method works! But it you need to be pray pray pray because it is hard work and you should really do it with another so as to avoid feeling isolated. I made allies with well-formed people attending the class who appreciated my info.

2. I moved away several years back. It was Indianapolis area.

3. Added bonus: God will reward you by sending you people with open hearts who end up embracing the Truth - and very grateful for the Truth!

4. Added bonus 2: you will find that as a subversive in a heretical environment, you will learn so much about your faith and learn how to understand it and defend it - I was forced to chew on so many issues. The Lord has blessed us with the Catechism and so many other sources of truth - many from the pen of or inspired by the current pope!

5. Added bonus 3: you will battle the devil hand to hand at times in this type of situation - and end up quite confident that it was worth the battle. Think of how many people will miss out on God's Truth if you don't act!

6. I want to say "When the Truth is persecuted, the persecuted get Truthing!" - but its way too corny.

It was quite delicious to listen to the not-quite-heresy (I use that term because actual heresy is never delicious to hear) spew forth from the pastor knowing that in a few minutes I would ask an "innocent" question that would force him to either embrace a doctrine taken verbatim from the Catechism or deny it outright! He knew he could not deny it outright (given what he discovered was my savvy and unwillingness to let him off the hook when he could be proven dead wrong on doctrine) or he would have a huge mess on his hands (thank God the bishop was "on board" with the pope, if not always as much a disciplinarian as I might like).
