The new century will see a new Christianity which in fact is the old one. And a very different Christmas. Less sugary, but far more real. And it's about time.

I sure hope so.

'"Spirituality," in other words invariably turns into "religion."'

That is the only statement with which I disagree in that article.

There is definitely a division taking place in this country.
God is separating His people from the chaff, but I'm not sure that translates into more religion, per se, just a desire to be closer to God through urgings of the Holy Spirit.

One of the hallmarks of this "Christianity Lite" was, and to a large extent still is, the belief that church is a social gathering place whereby mere presence and a ten percent tithe guarantees one a place in Heaven.

"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him." Tit 1:16.

God knows our hearts.
Our worship of Him on Sunday morning doesn't constitute our spirituality unless we follow that with His work.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits....." Mt 7:16.

I am thankful to the Holy Father for this time of choosing.
We must either be for Him or against Him.

"I know thy works, that thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee from my mouth." Rev. 3: 15, 16.
