“For the first time, there was a cadre of Catholics well enough informed to defend their faith.”
“Never met one on the street where it counts”
I can assure you that where it counts may not be on the street, but in the hearts of the individual.
There are more Catholics than you may even be aware of who do not fit the template you have offered on occasions here, but actually and truly are well-informed, fully practicing, prayerful, Scripturally aware Catholic people.
Like yeast hidden in the dough, they are there. And their prayerful lives and influences which— when the “winter is over”, and “all that is hidden is brought to light”-—will bear much fruit.
Could you please direct me to where I made that statement?...I dont recall ever making it, and I dont believe I have used the word ‘cadre’ on these religious threads...so I think your reply tho directed towards me, was directed towards me in error...hopefully you will go back and find out to whom, you should direct your reply...thanks...
