Communion lessons

Communion lessons: It is hard to believe that people once considered the Catholic press boring. At least when it comes to opinions, as opposed to news, it never lacks for controversy. Here is the money quote:  The necessity for such a revival underscores an ongoing failing of our Church, however, which is the lack of continuous Catholic faith formation. Most Catholics received formal education in their childhood. They may be devout or disengaged, but they are often thinking in childhood categories. As St. Paul advises, at a certain point we need to put away childish things.

Greg Erlandson hits the point squarely.  Often when talking to former Catholics they believe with their childhood's understanding and never advanced that comprehension.  No wonder they don't believe.  I don't either.  At least they read articles and hopefully listen to Bishop Barron or other Catholic apologists.  Let's pray for them.
