Comments on: The exclusion of Christians https://nzcatholic.org.nz/2022/11/03/the-exclusion-of-christians/ The New Zealand National Catholic Newspaper Thu, 03 Nov 2022 11:52:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.0.3 By: Hamish https://nzcatholic.org.nz/2022/11/03/the-exclusion-of-christians/#comment-88469 Thu, 03 Nov 2022 11:52:35 +0000 https://nzcatholic.org.nz/?p=26157#comment-88469 This scenario has been going on for a
long time; yet even in this late hour the
“Catholic Leader” has written an editorial
almost endorsing the view that there should
be an Australian republic, without examining
the facts involved which the above editorial
shows very clearly as very problematic.
An enormous number of arenas in society
can show they originated in a Christian
initiative, from nursing in the Crimean war
with Florence Nightingale to education in faith.
The crunch is the omnipresence of the Secular
Humanist and the denial of any supernatural,
which has seeped deeply into Catholic way of
life. This denial is an apostasy, coming from
an apostate religion, the state religion of
the U.S., ably supported by “Catholic” Joe
Biden, who severely penalised pro-lifers,
peacefully demonstrating for a justifiable
cause to the tune of ten years in jail and with
fines up to $250,000.
On the flip side of the coin is the matter of
drugs, porn, homosexuality, euthanasia
and abortion which Catholics
largely ignore, yet these continue to white ant
their church and their society. It is another case
of Fabian socialism, slowly eroding their
orthodoxy, until it seriously questions even
their Catholic Catechism. German Clerics do
not seem to realise the damage they have done
to faith, by simply siding with the enemy, and
their country is now suffering, particularly
with the German fertility rate so low. The EU
does not seem to realise it is destroying the ethic
with its “pro-choice” outlook, which seriously
questions the Catholic faith of Poland, now
visible in street gatherings saying the rosary.
Cardinal Pell suffered 406 days in jail. What
for? So that the social left could gain a “high
moral ground” it needed? Yes, the Cardinal in
Chicago was very far-sighted. But even he with
several others do not seem to realise the solutions
to this apostasy is a return to fasting (twice a week)
and deep prayer, a return to ascetical practices,
and the resulting mysticism. TV of course has come
and destroyed shame. So the trend appears and grows
and it is clear that Neo-Paganism is on the rise.
Once “The imitation of Christ” by St Thomas
A’Kempis was second only to the bible in published
works.
Is that the case to day?
Instead Harry Potter arrived to become a lead
player.
Is there a void to fill?
