One of the interesting ...That was a great article. One of the interesting things I've heard, time and again, is the complaint that mine is an "ignorant" generation. Fair enough, but ignorance is often the fault of the teachers who abandoned their duty to teach, as happened when catechesis began to focus less on the Catechism or even the Bible and Church history, and more on pop psychology, ideology, and the modern pet theories of whichever session leader happened to be in that day. The passage from John 21:15-17, "Feed my sheep...feed my lambs...feed my sheep," should imply authentic instruction ("Man does not live on bread alone..."), a failing of the Church (at least in the states) for the last few decades. This new translation should be a step in the right direction. If we are ignorant, we are also eager to learn. :)Dr. Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210899232931814200noreply@blogger.com
