I'm not Catholic, but this is right on the money. The churches - Catholic and Protestant alike - sometimes invite their own marginalization by allowing themselves to be driven by feeling and emotion rather than truth. The seeker-sensitive movement and contemporary Christian music are perfect examples of a religion reshaped in the image of man, built on the shifting sand of human taste rather than the firm rock of God's Word.
That is one fact that bolsters these secularists' smug a priori assumptions that they are the purveyors of ultimate truth.
Wrong. We are to defend the Gospel of Jesus. Jesus told us to go and preach the Gospel to all nations, and to be willing to suffer and die for His name.
No where does the Bible tell us to defend or fight for 'religious freedom'. It is a misapplication of our lives to fight for our 'rights'. Those who fight for their 'right' will crumble spiritually once their 'rights' are taken away. Jesus said, "Bless are you when you are persecuted for My Name's sake."
