Without Compromise

Aloha everyone my name is Dallas Carter and I am a catholic apologist working with the Office of Religious Education for the Catholic Diocese of Honolulu under the jurisdiction of His Excellency Bishop Larry Silva.

I am cradle catholic born and raised on the island of Oahu. After my graduation from Kamehameha Schools in 2000 I studied Catholic Theology at the Franciscan University in Steubenville Ohio. After attaining my B.A. in Theology at Franciscan I continued my studies at Chaminade University in Honolulu, Hawaii. This past year I graduated with my Masters in Theology from Chaminade and have begun the prerequisites for my p.h.d studies.

By day I am a Campus Minister at a local catholic grade school here on Oahu and I have been a lecturer of theology for Diocese for nearly two years now. My experience lecturing have brought many blessings to me and have given me more knowledge about the Scriptures and the teachings of the Church than any amount of books could ever provide. On the same token my experiences have opened my eyes to the reality that there is much work to be done with regard to proper catechesis and religious education with both our young people in our diocese as well as our adults.

The present societal cliche of moral and doctrinal relativism has infiltrated the hearts of so many well meaning and good-hearted catholic laity. It is my specific ministry to reach out and help guide our catholic faithful to a clear understanding of the teachings of Holy Mother Church, without compromise. As an apologist it is my duty not to create new interpetations of church teaching but rather to 'echein' or 'echo' what the Church and her Holy Tradition have taught since the time of Christ until this present day and to defend (apologia) her holy teachings against all those who question our faith (1 Pt 3:15) In humility I ask for your prayers as I embark on this mission.

Gods Blessings,

Dallas Carter, MPT
