(1) Appalled by his indolence, gaming, and iconoclastic opinions, his psychology professor tried to catechize him: ÔÇÿTut, tut, what does Saint Paul say, Mr. Crane?ÔÇÖ(2) It is worth noting again that the liturgy is not a ÔÇÿtoolÔÇÖ used to catechize Christians.(3) Nevertheless, Protestant ministers were originally expected to catechize Bible readers, involving doctrinal claims that structured how the Bible would be put together.(4) None may chastise him for deviance (for there is none), nor catechize him about the path to take (for there are as many paths as there are seekers).(5) Jenson bemoans the loss of moral demands of a ÔÇÿhighly opinionated GodÔÇÖ and the anomalous quandary of having to catechize the baptized in a post-Christian world.(6) The natural sorting process tells us something about how we need to catechize teenagers.(7) To save Shaw from hell-fire, a friend prevailed on a Roman Catholic priest to catechize the upstart Atheist.(8) It's our own damn fault when we pastor so badly, catechize so poorly, and expect so little.(9) From our earliest years, we are catechized into a civic faith: Competition brings out the best in us.(10) When I was about nine or ten years old, I literally fled from a little church near Warsaw, because the catechizer had terrified me.(11) Priests, like their counterparts in French towns, said public masses, administered the sacraments, preached, catechized and educated young men in town.(12) And I mean to assail it particularly among laypeople since, like it or not, the main work of catechizing our fellow Catholics is going to fall to us since there are a great many more of us than there are of ordained Catholics.(13) Consequently, all must take care, lest in catechizing or in preaching the Word of God, they teach anything which is not in accord with the truth of the Gospel message or the spirit of Christ.(14) The pastor's active duties to his parish extend beyond preaching, celebrating the sacraments, and catechizing to include amateur medicine and settling lawsuits.(15) Nevertheless, from first to last he conscientiously fulfilled his duties as preacher and catechizer .(16) Thanks to the hard work of the missionaries and catechizers this situation is slowly changing.
