“We want to make sure we’re aware of the fact that we can’t simply teach the faith out of a book,” Mahan said. “Our books have to be top notch for sure, but we have to be teaching the faith in an authentic manner. We have to do that in ways that spark the imagination.” Mahan put the onus for the rise in young people leaving the Church on an ever-secular culture, saying it “wraps its tentacles around young people and pulls them in an opposite directions” from the faith. He noted that the way to address that is through creating the aforementioned experiences of encounter, but also through the way the faith is taught in the classroom.
Mahan brings to the Institute on the Catechism more than 20 years of experience reviewing catechetical texts. In recent years, he has been a part of the core group that laid the groundwork for bishops to envision the institute and helped put together its inaugural event in November.
