The Protestant churches however have been really good and very successful with many of these points for a long time. <br /><br />I have noticed in the past 10 maybe 15 years (I'm 31) this sudden change in the Catholic church that I am very excited about and that change is the sudden appearance of many programs at a lot of different levels that have really started to explore the faith, use the bible and teach everyone why we are Catholic, why we do the things that we do, and where our teachings come from. While it is a great change and I think can bring our people closer to God I also agree with your observation that sometimes these programs seem very bland and over simplified. They don't draw on the rich history and teaching of the church. Yes a middle schooler may not be able to read the Summa and understand it, heck even I don't always get what St Thomas is saying, however I think that we can incorporate these people and their teachings at a level that is appropriate and draw more upon our reach history that spans millenia and lots of of subjects and topics.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794871370929917820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-206524469710613848.post-89317472822706127902013-07-27T12:02:24.424-05:002013-07-27T12:02:24.424-05:00Totus Tuus is the best thing ever for Catholic kid...Totus Tuus is the best thing ever for Catholic kids. I love the program every year. This year we didn't participate since this week is kind of a special week in our family and we were taking time off work and just having time as a family. But my kids will be back to it next year for sure. So glad Molly had fun!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
