That is a shame, but given the recent reports about how few believe int he Real Presence, it is to be expected. I am beginning to believe that Catholic education needs serious reform... from simple catechesis to logic, social issues, etc.
Judson, He is risen!!!! Great reflection! Amen, Baptism is necessary. Unfortunately, I have run into a lot of Catholics who do not understand this. I have had families tell me, against my protestation, that they want to wait up to a year or more to have their child baptized in order to include it in a family reunion etc. They see it as a ceremony vice the action of God's divine adoption of a soul and a filling with grace. Crazy! It is like refusing a healing medicine for a dying child. So, keep reminding all Catholics that Baptism is the doorway to eternal life. God Bless.

Amen, thank for telling it like it is and stressing the sacraments starting with baptism!!!!!
I enjoyed reading your reflection this morning, thank you!
