Young people have a mountain to climb, made ever more difficult by
a church which has lost so many of the basics, that is slow to see the
distractions caused by motion picture, Twitter, Instagram, and
mobile phone.
These are the church of today and tomorrow, supposed to build a
Catholic practising family.
Yet how many are attracted to the Sacramental
life of the church?
Despite warnings from Garabandal (now obvious from massive law suits)
Eucharist ends up in a “granny flat” in churches. What sort of messaage does
this send to children in schools? Is it fair to say that instead of “more importance
is being given to Eucharist” that “Less and less importance is being given to
the Eucharist”? Of course nothing can be done about any heavenly apparition until
events relatuing to it have ceased. But its clear that reverence towards Eucharist and
private adoration need some attention.
Over a Hundred miracles of the Eucharist can be found on the internet. Would it be
fair to say these need some illumination by Catholics- particularly in Catechesis-
to give young innocents a reason to follow the true focus in catholicism?
There is a story behind Corpus Christi processions.
Is this being told to Catholic school children?
If not why not?
It’s clear that as of 2014, with tens of thousands in Rome hands extended towards the
Bishop of Rome kneeling beside a chair he was about to sit on, [Utube- 2014
“Charismatic Catholics pray over Pope Francis”] that there cannot be any dichotomy
between Charismatic and Sacrament. This means priesthood everywhere are thus
enjoined in the struggle against atheism, and have a strength in their midst to act
against the problems youth face that are a denial of God- an apostasy- which is
a re-education of the American people so that they will forget and never know this
author of life. And now this has spread world wide, even into the EU.
Is it seen a battle of faith?
