Oh, well, I certainly didn't learn it in CATHOLIC school. I had to go looking on my own after attending a private university that has Harvard envy. The fundraising angle was learned on the job when I figured out how to follow the money. There's a lot out there that Catholics don't know and there are days I wonder how deliberately we've been kept in the dark.

Yes, and the clergy are so stretched thin these days -- I don't see how things will change unless there is a movement within the laity toward evangelization and improving catechesis among our brothers and sisters in Christ. What are your ideas for what a Catholic can do to effect change? I'm on fire right now, and not sure where to direct my energies.
