Next time you are in mass, look up. Have you ever wondered why the cielings are so high in our churches? Us Catholics don't tend to worship in a strip mall, or an old Pizza Hut. We love our grand buildings... but why?

Old school tour through the Baltimore Catechism, with a quick look at the recommendations for receiving Holy Communion. Take a listen. It might just change your Sunday mindset, not to mention wardrobe. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on the toughest topic, the taking of life by one's own hand. The Catechism says a lot about this topic. But, mostly how our life is uniquely constructed with value-added by God. We are made perfect. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on the intersection of Eucharist and Confession. Even if we aren't bank robbers, confession can be tough. But, its necessary to receive the fullness of the gift of faith. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on the common culture issue of equity and diversity. As we dig into the Catechism it becomes clear that many of the concepts of common culture carry deep Catholic context. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on the sometimes mysterious theological concept of the Eucharist. Bottom line, there is great need in the world for Eucharstic worship and understanding the brilliance of transubstantiation. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on the absolute brilliance of Holy Week and Easter. The Catechism sums it up... this is Superbowl week for the Christian faithful. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on the actual document. At Rome 120 we use the white covered Catechism commissioned by JP2. Its not your Grandmother's Baltimore. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes of Catechism excellence on a big dog theological topic. Some say our destiny is sealed in advance regardless of how we behave on Spring Break in Cabo. God says we are destined for Heaven. Gotta start somewhere.

Two minutes on our ultimate choice. Do we live for Heaven or be lost to Hell. The Catechism has a lot to say about this issue. Gotta start somewhere.
