³ Thanks, for the answer. What is your opinion of the Knights of Columbus,
³ Catholic Information Service, correspondence course. It comes in ten
³ lessons and each lesson has a test sheet to be filled out and sent back to
³ be graded? Are you familiar with this. Is this a good source of
³ education? I am just finished lesson eight.
Dear Ted,
Forty years ago I read several of the Knights of Columbus
correspondence course booklets, and I remember thinking that they
were very good. But who knows how many changes have been made in
them since then?! I wish that I could advise you on the basis of
recent information.
Purely as guesswork, let me say that in ten lessons you will achieve
an overview of the main points of Catholic doctrine and morality, but
in no great depth. I suggest you follow up your correspondence
course with some solid reading.
As a starting point, you might read "The Teaching of Christ: A
Catholic Catechism for Adults," ed. Lawler, Wuerl, and Lawler. 3rd
edition, 1991. ISBN 0-87973-850-2. Our Sunday Visitor Press, 200
Noll Plaza, Huntington, Indiana 46750.
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Mateo
