I had to gloss over the parts of the Catechism, because they really did sound like legalese. I didn’t understand, because I got lost in them.

I do this and I’ve recently been asking myself – Why and to what end? It doesn’t feel right to me. I want to love and understand the other person in my thoughts more and use the time to find common ground. Lastly I share sermons/reflections from people we both respect that may shed “light” on our differences.

You say the “Catechism is clear”. For me, I beg to differ. The Catechism (to me) is like reading a layers jargon fine print – they must provide this information but few understand it or take the time to try to decipher the complicated writing. Ie. Where as, insofar, first party to second party, grounds of hearing, rebuttal, motion to this that, and the other. Call me simple or slow but I need words put into layman’s terms. God bless you and keep up the good writing

Are we in the light or in the darkness? Great lenten reflection!
