“A generalization: the kids -— Methodist, Catholic, Evangelical, whatever -—are, for the most part, not well catechized. The adult generation is more to blame for this than they are.”
Well, in an attempt to avoid that “for the most part” generalization, we are going to have a go at attending a small but very friendly Russian Orthodox parish(?) here on alternate weekends when Latin Mass is not available. No Communion and no conversion, of course, but otherwise they seem very welcoming.** I have explained to the grandkids that our participation is not prohibited by the Catholic Church, and these two branches of Christianity did not split mainly* over theological differences. Comments?
* Yes, I know one can consult Wikipedia or other source and find a list of theological “differences”. But upon reading these my I find few if any that are salient to me and certainly not likely to endanger our Catholic faith or beliefs.
** I realize we as Catholics might not be welcomed to the same degree were the parish to be located in the Russian homeland.
I think you’re doing OK here. I can’t see a real objection. But others may disagree,and I’m here to learn.
