All Cathol...There is still a chance for the truth. All Catholics are called to evangelise (CCC 2105).<br />As we know, most Catholics do not know there Faith well enough or not well enough to be confident to share it with others.<br />Pope Benedict took care of that if you read "PORTA FIDEI" directly rather than a paraphrase from the news media.<br />Starting with paragraphs #11, he urged us all to read the "Catechism of the Catholic Church".<br />For documented links to the CCC, Porta Fidei, a short video from Dr. Scott Hahn, info on the associated Plenary Indulgence, go to: http://whatcatholicsreallybelieve.com<br />or search: What Catholics REALLY Believe SOURCE ".<br />Don't depend on diocesan staffers. Use the links provided for the truth without the potential for second hand errors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480891318347779.post-24426056623388747072012-10-07T16:14:14.722-07:002012-10-07T16:14:14.722-07:00Thank you for this Father.

Heard a talk by Fr Jim McManus last week in which he pointed out that being made in the image and likeness of God, nothing created is more like God than we are. It occurred to me when reading your piece, that nothing but the truth suffices, for those aiming to be a revelation of God's love for others. Truth has a beautiful clarity, not present in its compromises. Anything less than the truth is an insult to our dignity as children of God.Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480891318347779.post-83703426617372265802012-10-06T08:53:29.948-07:002012-10-06T08:53:29.948-07:00Hear Hear Father; sad though as we all seem to be ...Hear Hear Father; sad though as we all seem to be sleepwalking towards oblivion.<br />We need a dose of the truth and we need our priests to declare this TRUTH without fear or favour.<br />I always reflect on that short book of the prophet Malachi which seems to confirm our 'half-heartedness' of our faith practice.<br />All we have is HOPE, not in ourselves but only in Christ.
