I think this is going to be a three or four-part historical series.

I need to read this about three more times. But good article. Beefsteak-type adult brain food.

Thanks for posting.

I've never been good at verbal evangelization.
I think it's because the MOST difficult people to evangelize are the MAJORITY of people who exist in this country: those people who are disinterested, indifferent, almost totally self-absorbed and secular. They all have so many excuses for their above described life. Sigh. It's disheartening.

They have lived by the relative morality code so long that they LITERALLY have made up their own rules and even their own version of God the Almighty.

It's like looking into the eyes of a retarded person, a 15 year old teenager who is bored outta his gourd or a foreigner who hasn't a clue. I look in the eyes and there's no one home.

I prefer to live right, help the poor, go to daily Mass, pray the rosary every day, do my duty by my family and job...and wonder at God's plan.

I leave the verbal evangelization to the Scott Hahns and Steve Rays of the world. They are SO good at it.
