We Catholics SHOULD be doing a better job of evangelizing!<br /><br />The fact is, Vatican II was trying to encourage us to go out and spread the Gospel to all nations, in order that all might be united under Holy Mother Church! Not this pluralistic idea of "let's not offend anyone with our beliefs". <br /><br />And yes, as you say...the best way to evangelize is to love God, love our faith, LIVE holy lives! People come to Christ by what we do far more than what we say. <br /><br />While I agree with the sentiment in what St. Francis allegedly stated, you should know that he never said it. I think it was Jimmy Aikin who wrote up the facts somewhere but I can't recall the story as to how that particular myth came about. (As an aside, St. Augustine NEVER said "Singing is praying twice." Nope. Not even close.) <br /><br />Ah, we love our Saints so much we get their words wrong when trying to sum them up! ;-)Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.com
