Inside baseball, if I may--

I've made a comment or two regarding the very valid attempt by the Catholic hierarchy to assist in elaborating a more coherent and timely catechesis for students in our schools and learners in religious education and instruction programs. Like anything else, it will work better if all concerned roll up their sleeves and get to work rather than spewing and fulminating about the (mythical) powers that be. Really, there's no substitute for being involved and paying our dues instead of waiting for the next great thing to be dropped into our laps so we can criticize the work of others.
