An editorial in the new issue of The Anchor, the diocesan paper of Fall River, Mass., succinctly describes the catechetical challenge of our time: “Catholics need to know the truth announced by Christ more deeply and live it more whole-heartedly if we’re ever going to bring the Gospel credibly as a counter-proposal to those dominated by secularistic mindsets and lifestyles.”
The whole editorial is worth reading — especially the “veteran vaticanista” paragraph (you don’t have to be one to read it).
