| Catholic Identity in Danger12. November 2007 in English, keine Lesermeinung Catholic Identity in Danger from Secularized Culture: Archbishop Raymond Burke Warns against "a kind of relativism", "hedonism, materialism" - "we have to resist them - By Hilary White ST. LOUIS, Missouri (kath.net/LifeSiteNews.com) He urged faithful Catholics to keep teaching because their Catholic identity is in danger of being lost. Why? Because we live in a culture that's completely secularized. He reiterated the warnings made by Pope Benedict XVI against relativism, the belief that all religious faiths, all moral codes and all lifestyles are equally valid. Burke warned against a kind of relativism, a kind of hedonism, materialism and so forth, these kinds of tendencies of our culture, for us we have to resist them. Archbishop Burke has taken a leading role for Catholics opposed to the sexualized and secularized cultural trends, particularly in his stand against pro-abortion politicians who continue to trade on the name Catholic. His humble and warm personal style has endeared him to the faithful who have met him, but he has not hesitated to forthrightly defend the Church. This week, he warned two Catholic women in his diocese that they would be placing themselves outside the Church and incur automatic excommunication if they went ahead with a planned mock ordination on Sunday. The two women, who belong to the radical feminist organisation Womenpriests, announced they would be ordained this weekend. These mock ordinations have been popular with anti-Catholic organisations in recent years as media stunts to push forward the feminist and leftist movement that has held sway in the Church since the 1960s. The women have already announced they will ignore the warning and were going ahead with what Burke said would constitute an "act of schism." My vision for the Archdiocese, Ive always used the words, the new evangelization to lead the faithful of the Archdiocese to live their Catholic faith with a new enthusiasm and a new energy that will make a difference in our world," said Burke. The Archbishop can now be heard on a weekly radio programme on St. Louis stations answering childrens questions about the Catholic faith and related topics. Ihnen hat der Artikel gefallen?
