Even more, I wish everyone would take a look at what "modernism" is, and acknowledge that it crept in (understatement of the year) to Vatican II, and, subsequently, the CCC and Canon Law. The emperor has no clothes!

My first Catechism is falling apart!<br /><br />I had to duct-tape the thing back together and the pages are still falling out. LOL!<br /><br />Why do I say this? To toot my own horn and say, "Hey, look at me the great Catholic who reads his Catechism!"?<br /><br />No. Hardly.<br /><br />I say it to show that I *needed* to be catechized in the faith. (I am a convert/revert)<br /><br />And as Blessed JPII said in the beginning of the Cathechism in Fidem Depositum, "This is the faith in its entirety" and "It is a sure norm for teaching the faith."<br /><br />Ya got to want it!<br /><br />CKCatechist Kevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-77655359476447413522012-10-10T13:54:52.606-07:002012-10-10T13:54:52.606-07:00"Yes, I know, we are encouraged to read the C..."Yes, I know, we are encouraged to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church during this Year of Faith, and I hope many pastors promote that idea and do something to facilitate it. "<br /><br />[huge sigh]<br /><br />If *only* this were true, Dr. Jay. If only.<br /><br />"Encouraged" maybe by the USCCB and their promotion materials for the YoF. Your hope for having pastors promote the idea? Don't hold your breath.<br /><br />I do not have much hope for this at all. Sure, there will be some who do so... to the chagrine of the vast majority of their brothers.<br /><br />This past Sunday (where I attend Holy Mass... not my "registered" parish) the priest handed out this little four-fold pamphlet that had a lot of Catholic prayers in it. A good thing, to be sure! Many of the prayers your average Catholic should already know (you know, those associated with the rosary, and others like the Angelus, Regina Caeli, etc.).<br /><br />He then went on to say maybe... *maybe* even try to read the "Catholic Catechism" (his words) but, he then went on a little about how it is "tough reading"!<br /><br />AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!<br /><br />Dear Lord in heaven, I know how Charlie Brown feels.<br /><br />I told him afterwards, "Father, that Catechism is not that bad." Just a little way to be charitable towards the man all the while shaking my head at him inwardly.<br /><br />I've said it here before, Dr. Jay, and I'll say it again. I barely, and I mean barely, have a high school education. I am *no scholar* at all. I have a two year technical degree I received some years after hs just so I could get a decent job.<br /><br />If I can read the Catechism of the Catholic Church and have *any* sense of understanding it... anybody can!<br /><br />Sure, there are some sections a little more "in depth" than others, but I am living proof that a bo-hick, hill-jack, hayseed *can* learn these things!<br /><br />I tell the attendees at our adult faith studies that you have to try, try, and try again. I *did not* get through Veritatis Splendor on my first try. LOL!<br /><br />I have *zero* training/classes on theology.<br /><br />*By the grace of God* is how I learned the Faith. You have to want it to learn it and know it.<br /><br />How bad do we want it?<br /><br />Judging from what I have seen in many places (and like Mr. Voris put it in this video) not bad enough.<br /><br />Rant off.<br /><br />CK<br />Catechist Kevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531497517644951122.post-50749717284555821322012-10-09T08:21:02.917-07:002012-10-09T08:21:02.917-07:00Another great Vortex by Michael Voris.
Isn't i...Another great Vortex by Michael Voris.<br />Isn't it TRUE ....how this is seen by Obama and the government !<br />The Catholic Church is different. Since the changes of Vatican II ...all is not well.<br />People don't know there Catholic Faith...they don't know if the basics , I know I sure did not.<br />Year of Faith ... LORD Have Mercy on Us ...because people are losing their faith . We need to get back to the TRUTH and the complete TRUTH...not this watered down version of the TRUTH .<br />But I believe it has to start at the top...Please dear Bishops tell the TRUTH to the flock and may our foundations of the Catholic Church be shaken up to its core. <br />Then we will be seen as the TRUE LIGHT and God will be exalted .<br />Jeannie Hollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865018937964493630noreply@blogger.com
