Of course for many, that would mean spending twice as much time on faith.kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-22439940276902459532010-07-04T13:53:31.358-04:002010-07-04T13:53:31.358-04:00You're right on target.

Their faith formation never matured to a higher level. Sad... <br /><br />Most Protestant churches, especially fundamentalist and evangelical ones, continue Sunday School classes for adults--even for the elderly! I don't know if that kind of model would work (or would benefit) Catholics, but it would be great to find some kind of solution to the problem you discuss in your post. <br /><br />EvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216919512961858215.post-32984566639877869012010-06-27T16:06:07.010-04:002010-06-27T16:06:07.010-04:00Great post and so true!

Inside of 2 weeks I had a massive conversion experience and life hasn't been the same since. It's much better.

And it's a systemic problem, I think...something we're programmed into by the way we receive the sacraments. I don't know what the solution is, though.Kathleen@so much to say, so little timehttp://www.kathleenbasi.comnoreply@blogger.com
