Well, don't dig too far on Cardinal Bernardin if you aren't up for shocks. There's WAY more to that story than meets the eye.

I read a quote here on FR in the last few months that was attributed to Fulton Sheen. I've not been able to find it anywhere, though. He supposedly said that every 400 years or so the laity saves the Church. We're probably on the cusp of that. My advice - read the authentic teachings, be informed, learn apologetics, don't be afraid to be unapologetic about the Faith, and if marriage is your vocation, don't send your kids to Jesuit schools. Be sure to be involved in their religious education. My mother was horrified to find out how bad ours was. And, of course, pray.

Thanks for the advice! Good advice that I will take.

I am ready for more shocks; anything but more ignorance. So hit me with any info (resources etc) you have on Cardinal Bernardin. I want the dirt. ;)
