Sunday was a day for tackling hard questions and clearing the errors of some popular catechesis. Some young people know how to find stuff and some need prompting but the Millennials I spent the day with are eager for the Truth and reading voraciously. One was from Canada, one was from England, one was from Poland and one was from Singapore. Converts and reverts....
I have tried to recommend many books. The other great topics of the day included the evil of Harry Potter and Twilight, Descartes, evil national health systems, the problem of liturgical abuse, priests who do not give good marriage instruction, the general malaise of the Church in Ireland, England, and the continent, and the lack of vocations. We discussed Gramsci, an author known to one of the young persons, Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the books put out by Evangelium, and Church architecture. I have spent the day with at least two saints out of the group.
When people want to know the Faith and when then want to love God, they find out what they need to know. We are responsible for our own faith.
