I am thinking of the many students who graduated this past June and what will become of them. I am thinking of all of the Confirmation kids who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this past March. It seems to me that most students today are brought up on the doctrines of atheism. God is given no place in public life and He is banned from the classroom as well. Morality is relative, based on individual and particular circumstances.
Objective truth is a hang-up from the past.
History has been re-written. Catholicism and western culture are under constant attack. We see the effects of today's Godless education in the many outbreaks of violence in schools across the country. My hope and prayer is that young Roman Catholics who have passed through our parish religious education program will not give in to the temptation of becoming an average American and an average Catholic. The average family lives next door to these young folks yet we have tried to teach them that they are forbidden to be average because Our Blessed Lord and Savior said very plainly that he would rather we be hot or cold but never lukewarm.
