The call to Catholics everywhere...Until The Whole World Hears!
"Government, even at its best, can never be more than an auxiliary in the development of character...We desperately need to recover a sense of the fundamental purpose of education, which is to engage in the architecture of souls. When a self-governing society ignores this responsibility, it does so at its peril" (William J. Bennett, Quantifying America's Decline, 1993).
The New Evangelization begins in the heart (John 10:10) and results in a response to The Human Experience, with a culture of faith unlike any other, directed to the one who leads the way. With a soul rightly aligned, the human condition thrives, satisfied by the one who meets the most fundamental of needs (John 3:16).
