If you are one who teaches or is around people between the ages of 12 and 30, ask them to recite the Ten Commandments.
I'll bet that fewer than 10% could do that.
That is a quick measurement of what passes for Christian Catholicism (A Christian who follows Jesus in the Church He established) in our modern world today.
Is there a Prelate or Priest you know who is shamed by this?
If he is he should teach and preaches on the most basic of catechetical knowledge.
Dear reader...are you trying to remember them right now?
Many many years ago, after I had stopped going to Mass, for some reason (Holy Ghost prompting), I asked my own self what the Ten Commandments were.
I know I couldn't list them all, as I recall I got around 8 or 9 and yet I had been born into a Yuge Irish Algonquin Catholic family in Vermont in 1948.
Thanks be to God for not letting me drift into Hell like a snowflake.
