15 typical Catholic reactions to questioning of faith

Interesting points put forward
With today’s post, we would like to express our feelings of solidarity and friendship for all those Catholics in the world who time and time again have to listen and respond with charity to such a wide variety of questions, concerns or complaints. They come from our companions at work, fellow members of our family, our friends, the friends of our friends, or even strangers who might just see us with a rosary in our hand or perhaps praying before a meal. Today’s post hopes to serve up a good laugh together with some suggested links that can point you in the right direction if you aren’t sure how to respond.

I run into those all the time. Always supported by the sophistry of the New Age.. the primacy of moral relativism, radical individualism.. material gratification as a 'human right' that usurps all commensurate responsibility to others, to society as a whole and especially to some abstract Deist 'God', if you accept there is one at all. .
