REGINA: What inspired you to start the Dead Theologians Society?
EDDIE: I was the Youth Minister at Church of the Annunciation in Altamonte Springs, Florida. After watching the film, Dead Poets Society, we all spoke of the sad reality that most teens look upon Religion as just another subject they must complete for school.
For Catholic teens who don’t attend Catholic schools, so many – if not most – look at attending CCD classes as just a “hoop” they must jump through in order to get Confirmed, so they can then be finished with Religion.
REGINA: Sounds familiar.
EDDIE: We discussed how this common mindset is a tragedy because Religion is the most important “subject” in the world. As Blessed Fr. Solanus Casey said, “Religion is the science of saving Souls.”
