The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a potent instrument with which to begin our re-evangelization effort. As parishioners, parents, teachers, lay ministers, as anyone engaged in defending the faith, we should urge our bishops, clergy, and parents to teach from the Catechism. The best defense against false teaching is knowledge of the truth. Catholics, as never before, have the tools with which to become apologists. The faithful need to learn the standard evangelical opening lines, and be prepared to explain baptism as the initiation of grace in the life of the believer.
Catholic parents have both the joy and obligation of passing on the faith to their children.
The mission to educate demands that Christian parents present to their children all the topics necessary for . . . Catholics should be impressed with the need for right-giving, which means a reordering of our philanthropy. Catholics are guilty of smug complacency. It is sad and unnecessary to watch anyone, young or old, reject the Church, especially when it is due to the misinformation spread by anti-Catholic evangelists. Secondly, taking our cue from the evangelists who endorse ECT, Catholics should desire ecumenical alliances that strengthen the Christian presence in our culture.
