Unfortunately, Catholic education went into auto-destruct mode fifty years ago. Any resemblance between authentic historical Catholicism and the religious operating system in the Catholic schools of Ontario is pure coincidence. The teacher's association (OECTA) would be the biggest opponent to something like the St. Ignatius' Daily Examen. Keep in mind, that our venerable Roman Catechism was abrogated in 1966. Now, how do you abrogate a Catechism without abrogating its contents? The General Catechetical Directory (1971?) was largely ignored. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, despite being, to a large extent, a product of the Spell of Vatican II, is, in some areas, sound. Sadly the spirit of "abrogation" is alive and well. Just take a look at how many bishops supported the inserted paragraphs, in the relatio, halfway through the recent synod. Mr Kostoff's suggestion is good, but where are you going to get the "horses" to carry out such a practice? From OECTA??Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077539500634876799noreply@blogger.com
