This the the result of the “progressive” teachings of the post Vatican II period. Just plain gnosticism. This is all many Catholics know, what the pope called the dictatorship of relativism. We just through a new Reformation.Hopefully the Counterreformation is on the way.
“This is all many Catholics know, what the pope called the dictatorship of relativism.”
Unfortunately, you are correct. What is needed is a new, orthodox emphasis on catechesis. Many Latin American bishops have incorporated this into their expansive 5 year programs of evangelization. An emphasis on prayer for all they attempt to do is a huge part of this. They are re-training their Catholics, advancing them in spirituality, morality, Scripture, deeper understanding of the sacraments and the history of the Church. They are forming them into neighborhood groups of faithful Catholics who are evangelizing their neighborhoods with some pretty astounding success.
We desperately need to consider something similar here in the USA....that is under the leadership and INCLUDES the participation of all of our bishops...as it is in Latin America.
