WASHINGTON, D.C., May 24, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – “Non-religious ‘spiritualism’ is the new paganism,” Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann told the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast this morning.
Naumann, the incoming chair of the U.S. bishops’ pro-life committee, said our culture is “experiencing a crisis of faith that leads to denial of truth.”
He listed as major problems today school shootings, international tensions and conflicts, and the fact that “one third of American children are being raised in homes without their biological fathers.”
He noted Catholic Charities in Massachusetts, Illinois, Washington, D.C. are no longer allowed to facilitate adoptions (this is thanks to same-sex “marriage”) and that there are “doctors and organizations that profit from the killing” of more than one million babies every year.
Naumann also lamented efforts to force Catholic hospitals to commit abortions and the plight of illegal immigrant minors.
When “materialism reigns and brings utilitarianism,” society no longer acknowledges unalienable rights, he said. “The pursuit of pleasure becomes the highest goal...in the end, [pleasures] leave us more and more empty” and “suffering and death” become enemies.

I’m not really a Bible-thumper, but:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness
Isaiah 5:20
When it fits, it fits.
Ah, tell it, Brother Naumann, tell it!
Jesus the way the truth and the light
Nuff sed
Jesus the Way, the Truth and the LIFE.
John 14:6
This is rich, given the fact that the leader of the Roman Catholic church, the “pope” is a raving pagan heretic.
