Green Bay Bishop: "Learn Catholicism If You Work for Me!"

How.....interesting!

Beginning in October, diocesan employees will spend one hour each month studying the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults (USCCA). During a meeting Sept. 22 at St. Francis Xavier Conference Room, Bishop David Ricken and three other speakers introduced the initiative to about 100 employees...

...Bishop Ricken told employees that understanding the Catholic faith is essential to the diocesan staff. "Be open to the process of learning so you can understand the mission and the culture" of the church, he said.

Who knows? Maybe the faculty of St Norbert's College (Best Little Methodist College in DePere) will have to do the same someday...

LOL, honestly I think that diocesan staff will be somewhat receptive. Some people really want to do the right thing. But to educate our educated idiots? That would take a miracle.

I attended a Mass up there a few months back and was wowed by a particular young priest; hopefully he is part of the new breed. You can read more about him here:
