I was in Leeds last week, leading a study day for some of the clergy there. The topic was ‘Prayer in the Catechism’, looking at the history and theology of Part 4 of the Catechism, and sharing some practical tips about how to use this in teaching and catechesis.
The text from the Catechism is here (the first section of Part 4 on Christian Prayer).
Here is the audio of the three talks if you are interested.
Talk 1: The importance of Part 4 (Christian Prayer) in the theological structure of the Catechism.
Talk 2: The history and structure of Part 4
Talk 3: The theology of Part 4

Who do you think you’re praying for or to?Don’t you really think you’re deluded?millions of people have prayed over the centuries and what have they got from it?you’re stuck in a rut and must be desperate.Why not get on with living a normal life.Why not be more empirical and measure results?I spent six years in a seminary meditating every morning and it was the biggest waste of time imaginable.I feel so sorry for you brainwashed believers.why not do something useful and go out and help the poor.priests are and always have been parasites.At least the French worker priest movement in the 60s came to understand this.You’re just a sect among so many others and I pity your blindness.Please get your hands dirty like the rest of us and live in the real world of hard work.As A.J .Ayer affirmed theology is just unutterable twaddle signifying nothing
“Stuck in a rut and must be desperate” – sorry but this sounds like projection to me. When you’re done with your hard work and you’ve got dirty hands what exactly is it you measure?
