I promise you that am NOT attacking, I am sincere and curious.
I have been reading the Catholic Catechism recently, and I must confess that it is much “better” then I imagined. It seems many Catholics simply don’t know much about the Bible, the Gospel, or even their own Catechism.
In any event, point number 3 of the CC says:
“Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world...”
So, if Catholics (laity included) are urged to proclaim the “Good News” (i.e. Gospel) everywhere in the world, then why don’t I see this?
Sure, Catholic priests of old were often very evangelical and often martyrs. And there are, perhaps, FEW today. But, out of the entire Church (laity included), it seems less than 1% proclaim the Gospel…and around the same percentage of Catholics wouldn’t even be able to articulate the Gospel message!
Why is this?
