I think next week I’m going to jump ahead (according to the books I have, anyway) and cover some pronouns.

I’ve found myself talking to a few different people lately about Catholic education and how dismal our generation’s was, and then I ran across this podcast called “Catholic Traitors” by Michael Voris of St. Michael Media. (It was originally a video, but the podcast is free.) If you went to Catholic school or CCD/PSR/Catechism classes in the US in the past 40 years or so, you’ll probably find yourself nodding along with him in several places.
