"We must not simply leap over the last forty years of catechesis as if they were an unmitigated wasteland, but take the basic thrust of post–Vatican II catechesis seriously: namely, that the doctrines mean little unless they are related to one’s experience, to one’s desires, hopes, fears, and dreams."

Perhaps I am too cynical, but why can't the truth stand on its own? Must everything be "relevant" to me?
