Silence is a killer. Correct. But so is laziness. If someone doesn't take time to reason then they are actually engaged in a game of immense self-deception. We can't give people the easy out of saying that they are all invincibly ignorant. It may occur in some small minorities but cannot be the root for this universal collapse. It is self-deception, rationalizations and justifications that has brought us to the brink of cultural suicide. I completely agree with you formation and more formation and outspoken clarity is essential but we have to understand that we have the advantage since people can't hide behind "I didn't know".

Father, you say "we CAN'T NOT know that abortion is murder, that sodomy is wrong, that contraception is evil. Natural law is impressed on us, agree.. BUT as I said before, when your a child and your parents get divorced, how is that child going to grow up Knowing that divorce is wrong and breaks up society? He must learn that, either by his own mistakes in life, or from an honest, open and holy priest that God willing, may enter into their life. I have talked to people about abortion who say they never understood abortion as being 'murder'. For one man, I had to show him a picture of an aborted child for him to stop and gasp at the true reality of what it is. Christ said, go and teach all nations...Silence is a killer!
