At this point I can now publish a commentary that I get sent from a friend today and I would not deprive you. Enjoy it!
"This Sunday (Ordinary 9.So A) was a prelate as a reason his sermon on the discrepancy between the theoretical knowledge of teaching and the practical life of faith to act with Christians, it is -. Then the until then ; revered prelate - walk and add that children in the Catholic education of early childhood teaching, the knowledge of sacraments, rites, laws have to learn by heart And we were adult Catholics. overwhelmed by dogma, knowledge of liturgies, legislation, etc.. But all that was void as compared to the actual life, experiencing, feeling, realization of the faith - void compared to the inner attitudes towards God and the work as a Christian in everyday life and in practice. I agree with him when he says that the doctrine may, instead of the practice ... we would but only one call of which are the "Lord, Lord" and nothing behind it. But I see a crucial mistake in this thought: the memorization of doctrine and command of the basics in the theoretical sense but do not want to raise as a substitute for compliance with its content. On the contrary, the teaching of the Catholic Church supports, promotes, but the effect just compliance and previous experience of the law, as Jesus asked of us. Of course it is not essential if a child has auswendigelernt the seven sacraments and the Credo in communion classes and can recite, but it must learn to understand the deeper meaning behind it. But let's face it: did not the child who first heard the teachings and "by heart" has learned to understand much better chance of the content later with the heart and open up the animals can sense? Of course, it is enough for a Catholic not to celebrate the purest and most beautiful liturgy in order to then in everyday life with his crimes and sins proceed. But does it work: witness the sacredness of the Eucharist, a sense of perfection, goodness, love and grace to experience God and the attempt not to identify with? Liturgy - because if it is celebrated correctly - always leads to God, it makes the invisible, or less visible. Therefore doctrine and life of faith go hand in hand. I have the impression that it is rather too little learning by heart the credo of children and too few adults in the Catholic world exploration of our German church. "Those who are inside are out there" (Augustine Greetings, ...), because preaches to them about the behavior and adherence to Christian faith, however, is silent but the precondition of the appropriation and internalization of the theory often. Do not we have a right to the whole? Or rather, it is not in the nature of things, to take the first step before the second?
