Earlier this year, I believe in this very journal, there was a story on young people either coming to the Catholic faith or deepening their religious life. Each and every individual story was moving and beautiful. And (sigh!) each and every account was a college student or recent college graduate. Only about of third of American have a college degree.
For the more part, I think there is almost zero --- ZERO -- commitment or initiatives to the evangelization of working class and poor people. CCHD is one of the few things we got -- engaged Catholics working shoulder to shoulder with people in working class and low income communities on projects to make their lives better and more stable. I'm sure there are criticisms that can be made comparing CCHD to some ideal. I don't see how it comes short from doing nothing, as is the actual situation. Blessed Adolph Kolping, pray for us!
You forget the St. Vincent de Paul Societies present in most Catholic parishes and the Knights of Columbus, among others. Catholics are not doing nothing to improve the lives of the poor.
