The situation today points to an ever increasing urgency for
a doctrinal formation of the lay faithful, not simply in a better
under standing which is natural to faith's dynamism, but also
in enabling them `to give a reason for their hoping' in view of
the world and its grave and complex problems.... This is especially
true for the lay faithful who have responsibilities in various
fields of society and public life. Above all, it is indispensable
that they have a more exact knowledge and this demands a more
widespread and precise presentation of the Church's social doctrine,
as repeatedly stressed by the Synod Fathers in their presentations.

- The Web of the Cross - "This site is a a meditation using the Way of the Cross. Each
'"station" is linked to a web site that invites you to a
response in faith to the suffering Christ in our global village. Some
sites provide a directed mediation with images and music, others take
you to a page of links that you might like to explore and reflect
on. This series is based on the revised Stations of the Cross released
by the Congregation of Rites in 1975. "
