Men's ministry ("The King's Men") reaches men where they are at and launches them into a new, integral, active experience of Christ and the Church.
The power of the kerygma, the preaching of the Gospel, has lost none of its internal dynamism, Pope Benedict XVI told participants at an ecumenical prayer service during his visit to New York. Yet he asked whether the full force of this preaching has been diluted "by a relativistic approach to Christian doctrine similar to that found in secular ideologies." The effect of such an approach, the Holy Father warned, can relegate religion to the subjective sphere of individual feeling. "Only by holding fast to sound teaching," he said, "will we be able to respond to the challenges that confront us in an evolving world."
A school's Catholic identity is not simply a question of how many Catholic students it has, says Pope Benedict XVI. And neither can this identity be equated simply with orthodoxy of course content, he told Catholic educators during his visit to Washington, D.C. Catholic identity demands "that each and every aspect of your learning communities reverberates within the ecclesial life of faith," the Holy Father told educators. He also spoke of "intellectual charity," and called on educators to recognize that the responsibility "to lead the young to truth is nothing less than an act of love."
