Walking down an up escalator or...

...this futility:

Sometimes when I discuss matters of the the faith with Cafeteria style Catholics [the type that pick and choose what they want to believe] I feel like I am not making any progress and it isn't worth my time. In fact, sometimes I feel like I have only defeated MYSELF in having such conversations because my objective is to profess truth and proper Catechesis when in fact I may be hurting those prospects because it causes such a person to dig their heels in regarding their beliefs.

I saw this video today and it made me think of such a conversation I had with someone I greatly respect and yet who I COMPLETELY DISAGREED with about matters of our Faith. It had to do with "creativity" within the Mass in regards to music and "cultural" imports. So this video is a representation of how I neatly crafted my argument... only to have it completely disassembled because this person was unwilling to accept ANY of my premises.
