COMIC BOOK....

Kids, youth, young adults of today can discus for hours on end even the most minute details concerning comic book super heroes such as X-men, Wolverine, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and all other sorts of “Avengers.” What are their origins? How did they acquire their powers? Who would prevail if they should enter into a fray with one another? Of course this also carries over to a national obsession with the Star Wars franchise! Yet sadly, these same people rarely put that same amount of energy into studying our faith: scripture, lives of saints, or anything remotely connected to the Church. It’s sad that the comic book is replacing the Good Book for so many, yet who would cry out for Superman at the hour of their death?
