How should we structure our Catechism Studies?

[lonnienord]

Should we do a new thread for each (paragraph) number in the Catachism or should we do a new thread for each chapter?? How fast should we go?

[lonnienord]

you can of course select more than one answer and i hope no one minds that people can see how you voted.

[PassthePeace1]

I vote for #2 and the last one...but honesty, it really doesn't matter to me

[lonnienord]

I think we should do paragraph by paragraph posting a new thread daily. The old threads would remain open and people could read and add their comments for as long as there was an interest in a certain paragraph. If we had several paragraphs getting a lot of messages we could slow down until the hot topics played out then move on.

Sounds good!

I don't know, one thread per paragraph might bog things down. When I originally posted about the CCC, I was thinking about 10 paragraphs or so (depending on topic consistency) per day.

Majority rules, of course!

Since the paragraphs of a chapter are so interrelated, I think it would be easier to have a thread for each chapter, plus it would be easier to keep track of. Wouldn't be too bothered if it was arranged some other way though.

[IXOYE<><]

I think a chapter per week, with anywhere from one to three paragraph threads per day, depending on their size. Just my two cents.

[lonnienord]

so here is what i plan to do. We will take a section at a time probably about one a day. If we are getting a lot of posts we will slow down. But this is a big book and it would be nice to get through it in about a year. Please feel free to give me feedback. Also would someone like to back me up incase something happens and i can't post for a period of time?

i really look forward to studying this great book with you!!

we can modify as we go and i am always open to feedback. lets put comments on how things are going speed etc in this thread ok and i'll watch for new posts here.

also i am really open to someone else sharing the lead in this with me or even taking over. If you want to do either please let me know either here or pm

all for JESUS!!

one more question / comment:

I will entitle the threads: CCC-2 word or two (4-10)
CCC-2 will be the number in the sequance of the Catechism of the Catholic Church study

the "word or two" will be something catchy to bring readers in
and the numbers int the (x-x) will be the paragraphs this thread will cover

how does that sound?? any suggestions??

Hi Lonnie :wave: Great question!

Well, I voted that we post a new thread with each chapter.

Personally, the CCC has always kind of intimidated me. I'm interested in reading more in here. Thank you for coming up and heading this project!!

[lonnienord]

I am going to modify our study becasue i believe prayer is so extremely important. I shall intersperse our study with a CCCP1* title (paragraphs) *CCCP1=Catechism of the Catholic Church prayer number in that group.

So we will go through the Catachism in order and interspersed with that will be studies of the last section which we will also do in order.

Do you understand? What do you think of this idea? If you want to go straight through the CCC just don't read the CCCP threads until we get to that in the Book.

I am doing the Prayer section now cause i need to keep Prayer the center of my life and also the center of my study

I love this idea... awesome... prayer is the key to living a holy and pure life in Christ. We need "prayer" and I love this idea... You knew that I would... Lonnie... LOL :)

Thank you so much.

[Lel]

Nah, lel can wait...she's just interested, 's all :) lel needs to learn patience too!

[lonnienord]

i need patience too but i love the sacraments so i'm going to push forward either today or tomorrow. i worry about burning my self out but right now i have the energy for this so i'm going to go full speed ahead hopping that if i do run out of energy others will pick up and continue the studies. Most important please everyone pray pray pray!!!!!! for me and for all who read/post in here!!
