What Does It Mean To Be A Catholic?

Last week's bulletin at our parish [PDF p. 5] had a notice of tomorrow afternoon's presentation by Michael Crosby.
In his Conclave sermon before being elected Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Ratzinger called for an adult faith among Catholics. Hear this challenging talk and discover whether our church leaders are truly ready and willing for Catholics to have an adult faith, or if it just might be easier for them to have us remain like children, accepting whatever is taught us.

Cardinal Ratzinger saw it differently in that pre-conclave homily.
And what does it mean to be children in the faith? St. Paul answers: It means to be "tossed to and from and carried about with every wind of doctrine" (Ephesians 4:14). A very timely description!

If you won't be at the presentation, I suspect you can get some idea what you missed from Fr. Crosby's weblog.
