“Instead of changing the culture around us, we Christians have allowed ourselves to be changed by the culture. We’ve compromised too cheaply. We’ve hungered after assimilating and fitting in. And in the process, we’ve been bleached out and absorbed by the culture we were sent to make holy.”

Chaput is papabile!

Young people? What about the adults?

Interesting; coming from the same group which condones buggery, molesting children and illegal aliens.

The story of the students’ reaction to “The Lottery” is instructive. A few years ago, I had a similar discussion on an internet message board where the participants were mostly young people (teens, 20’s). The discussion started out with support of multiculturalism, until someone mentioned something like so-called female circumcision. The young people had a very thoughtful discussion, coming to the conclusion that all cultural practices are NOT equally valid. It was fun to watch.

I sent this article to our three younger children, who are all in undergraduate and graduate school. I’m also going to discuss it with my 10th grade Confirmation students.
