What is wrong with the faux Christians that they consider adherence to God's Word as "radical"?

Brings to mind a very good point driven home by our priest this afternoon at Mass.

He pointed out the religion of "secularism" plaguing our country. He specifically sited the leaking "like a gas" of "new ageism and personal 'spirituality' in our Church. Namely, as he put it, "narcissism," within many, perfering the "do it yourself and trust man" way, as opposed to full trust in God.

He followed up, with something brilliant I thought, in this light: "Tolerance is something that happens to one who loses their priniciples."

These "faux Christians" you mention what it their own way, and will try any which way but loose to have it their way, and not follow God.

Let me guess: Half the congregation (all female) then walked out.

Ah, sister Joan Chittister the anti-hierarchical dissident who believes that being pro-life is contrary to Christian social teaching. Her endless complains against the Church and its teachings, and her left-leaning politics are an embarrassment to true Catholics.
