Why do I need a Church? Can’t I be spiritual on my own? Isn’t each person free to make up his own morality? Why does the Church talk so much about human life, sex and marriage? Shouldn’t we just be tolerant and get along with everyone? This engaging and thought-provoking talk shows how parish ministry and faith formation in the home cannot be “business as usual.” We cannot simply teach the truth. We must pass on the faith in a way that anticipates the cultural influences that affect the life of faith and give people the tools to thrive as intentional Catholics in a relativistic world.
