“Many years ago, I had an encounter with a coworker that would forever ignite a stronger desire to articulate Church doctrine in a clear practical manner. The story goes this way. I had recently finished developing a pilot Adult Education program for the Diocese I worked in at the time. The Bishop of the Diocese charged me with the task to develop an Adult Faith Formation program that would be practical and engaging to bring back fallen away Catholics. During the development of the program, the person I worked with was annoyed at the project. Some of the comments ranged from; ‘You are wasting your time’, to, ‘what a waste of paper.’ This half-hearted barrage continued for several weeks.”
In a recent commentary, Marlon De La Torre (Diocesan Director of Catechist Formation and Children's Catechesis, Diocese of Fort Worth) reflected on the relationship between doctrine, assenting faith, and freedom.
