Sadly they have not been taught their catechism either. So many of the laity have been given the excuse, and goodness knows we humans need no excuse, to be lazy. So many opportunities to teach the Catholic faith have been squandered by the clergy but I find hope in the new crop of priests coming into the Church, even in this country. Many are on fire for the Lord and to re-evangelize the Catholic population and those of you who are anti-Catholic I am very excited at the prospect.
I love that my church keeps the tradition but is also charasmatic.
