The conclusion from all this is obvious. Families must be taught that we have a free will in order to do God's will on earth and, thereby, reach a heavenly eternity. Here is the grave responsibility we have before God. As bishops and priests, religious and laity, single and married, we must become active apostles of religious instruction to families. Parents and children are being exposed to so much erroneous thinking, it is no wonder that family life in once flourishing Christian countries is disintegrating.
Ideas have consequences .
True ideas have good consequences. False ideas have bad consequences. We who have the true faith, which is the only foundation for real hope, have the obligation to teach this faith to the myriads of families that are literally walking in darkness and sitting in the shadow of death. We also have a second grave responsibility. It is to provide parents with the necessary tools of instruction on teaching the Catholic faith to their children.
