And I remember she said to me, you know, then it's not equality they're looking for, it's domination.

And this isn't going to affect anyone, you know, and it's affecting the children in elementary school.

It's affecting states, it's affecting governments, affecting our world.

And it was all taken in because people were not able to think clearly.

And however we do it, however we do it,

unless we catechize our children, we will be handing them over to the catechists of the world.

And the catechists, some of the catechists of the world are clearly determined that you will think this way.

So when I was a youngster, I remember people of my parents' generation lamenting what was happening in the Soviet Union.

how unless you thought a certain way and conformed a certain way, there were jobs that you would not get.

There were educational opportunities you wouldn't have.

And it was lamented.

And now it's actually come true in the Western world.

There'll be areas of medicine and science and education that are being closed down to people because they have Christian convictions.

So much so that I think in some places, the ultimate sin is to have Christian convictions.

And that means, I think, if we are teaching the Shorter Catechism, the challenge to us as catechists, as parents or ministers or whatever, is that we actually live it out ourselves.
