The Problems Facing the Catholic Church: Theology, Holiness, and the Sacraments

This one is heated, so brace yourselves! I discuss three major issues facing the Church today: theology, holiness, and the sacraments. I share personal experiences, including an encounter with a young man at confession, and provide my thoughts on the Cardinal Blaise Cupich's recent letter advising Catholics to receive Holy Communion standing. I emphasize the importance of authentic catechesis, the damaging effects of the 'hippie gospel,' and 'Teddy Bear Jesus,' and the need for personal holiness to transform the Church and the world.
