text: I met a freshly ordained priest in the Archdiocese of Washington, DC, around five years ago who sounds like he went to the same church and school.
  
  When he in college he was talking to the priest at the Newman Center, who casually related the Catholic belief in the Real Presence and transubstantiation. He was stunned. In 12 years in Catholic schools and attending Mass no one ever bothered to tell him that.
  
  He began to study Catholic teaching from books at the Center, entered the seminary, and is now an assistant at a parish. And he is enthusiastic!
  
  We have good news. We ought to share it.
