However, we don't even give a final test before the Easter Sacraments, let alone keep them under moral surveillance. So it's hard to say how many of them may still be contraceptors, egotists, usurers, dishonoring to their parents, violators of the Lord's Day Rest, or gossips.
I'd venture, though, that they're better on contraception than the cradle-catholic twentysomethings. Actually, that's a fairly safe bet.
They know they have to accept the total faith and morals of the Catholic Church to be baptized.
They've been told that. Unlikely they take it seriously. Younger cradle Catholics have simply heard it more times.
