Obama’s ambassador to Holy See says there’s no problem with radical secularism in the USA!
Protect the Pope ^ | 1/12/11

Posted on 01/12/2011 8:05:52 AM PST by markomalley

Miguel Diaz, the US ambassador to the Holy See, gave an interview to Vatican Radio after Pope Benedict’s address about the state of the world in which he claimed that faith groups in the US did not have a problem with intolerant  secularism.

In response to Pope Benedict’s  warning against the marginalisation of religion in Western society in the name of a false pluralism Ambassador Diaz said:

‘“One of the great treasures of American society has been religious tolerance, its at the heart of what it is to be American. We do not have this kind of radical secularism that dismisses the positive contribution of religious figures to society and religious ideas from our society, and in fact, you know we probably come very close to what the Holy Father has characterized as a positive form of a secular society.”

Protect the Pope comment: This is like hearing the Chinese Premier saying there’s no problem with human rights in China! If there’s no problem with radical secularism in the USA why did President Obama insist that religious imagery was covered up when he gave an address from a Catholic University? If there’s no radical secularism in the USA why did President Obama and Secretary for State Clinton start talking about ‘freedom of worship’ instead of ‘freedom of religion’? If there is no problem with radical secularism why did President Obama omit the word, ‘Creator ‘ when he recited the Declaration of Independence? And these are just a couple of examples that spring readily to mind!

I wonder, how was Mr. Diaz able to say that with a straight face! That’s nuts.

Prayers for the Pope as well as this apostate ambassador. The ambassador needs a re-version to the REAL Catholic Faith.

Looks like he fits the definition: Highlighting is mine.

SECULARISM

Technically the philosophy of naturalism advocated since the nineteenth century, first in England and then elsewhere. It is a closed system that affirms that human existence and destiny are fully explainable in terms of this world without reference to eternity. On its social side, secularism promotes the advancement of humanity's lot in this life, and charges Christianity with indifference to poverty and suffering because of its alleged preoccupation with God and the life to come.
