It was not just Catholics Livius. Most churches told their people what to think rather than arming them with spiritual principles which would allow them to understand the world in light of the truth. It is hard to catechize a people with just 1 hour a week.

Christians have FAILED to catechize their children! Shame on them! I suspect that God is very annoyed with Christians.
Christians send their children into the government’s socialist-entitlement K-12 GODLESS environment 5 days a week and then expect 1 hour on Sunday to undo that. Or...Haven’t we heard this excuse, “I deprogram my children when they get home from school.”
