I r...StayAwake: Thank You Catholic Collar and Tie. <br />I read this recently, it was written by a devout Priest (my highest compliment) in 1986 who was involved in the Marian Movement of Priests. Please read it closely!<br />“The Church is both divine and human and, in its human dimension, it is fragile and sinful and thus has great need to do penance. The Church is the light of the world, “Lumen Gentium,” but often the evils of the world in which it lives become the maladies which attack the human dimension of the Church. This has been proven by nearly two thousand years of its history. <br />Today the Church is living in a world which has built up a new secular civilization. The spirit of this world, or secularism which has entered into its interior has caused the state of great suffering and of crisis in which the Church finds itself. This is the famous “smoke of Satan” spoken by Pope Paul VI of venerable memory.<br />Secularism, at the intellectual level becomes “rationalism” and, at the level of life, it becomes “naturalism”.<br />Because of rationalism, there is today the tendency to interpret the whole mystery of God and the deposit of revealed truth in a purely human way, and thus often the fundamental dogmas of the faith are denied and most serious errors are spread about in a hidden and ambiguous way”…………… “From this originates the gradual loss of the awareness of sin as an evil and the neglect of the Sacrament of reconciliation, which has now spread throughout the whole Church.”<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
