How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of the thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - flung from one extreme to another: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism and so forth. Every day new sects spring up, and what St Paul says about human deception and the trickery that strives to entice people into error (cf. Eph 4: 14) comes true.

Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be "tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine", seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires.
HOMILY OF HIS EMINENCE CARD. JOSEPH RATZINGER DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS

I've posted this quote many times but it bears repeating, ping!

The best thing a true Catholic today can do is to flee this new religion like one would flee the plague.

God is not pleased with what has happened to His Church left behind to endure until the Second Coming.

the spiritual leader of the whole world

Among our many weapons is an almost fanatical devotion to the pope!

Yet Francis slobbers all over abortionists, globalists, enviro-genocidal maniacs, etc., etc. He can’t get enough of the one-worlders.
