Belgian Cardinal says the Church must conform to modern society and not try to "conquer lost ground"

Amici,
I recommend a great article on Vatican II's teaching on human dignity and freedom at 1P5. It's an excellent critique of the awful Vat2 pastiche Dignitatis Humanae

Here is an example of what Vatican II and Dignitatis Humanae have wrought, and if one is to know a tree by its fruit, this is a wormy fruit Vat2 produced, indeed.

An excerpt (this is a cardinal, mind ye):

I believe that being a Catholic in Europe today means being part of
this scenario. It is the desire to live together while respecting
others. The Church is not here to “reconquer lost ground”. This is not its mission. To be Catholic is to be faithful to one’s convictions in an environment that has changed to a pluralistic society. This implies respect for human being and his or her beliefs.

We must always be respectful of each other, to accept the person as
he or she is, without wanting to impose ourselves on an individual
person or on society. However, we have a mission inside this society. We have convictions and values that we want to defend. It must also be noted that there is interfaith solidarity and this is the mission of the Catholic Church. We stand in solidarity with all those who strive for a more just and more fraternal society.

If we fight for the respect of freedom of religion, it is because we
agree with secularised society, but within this society, we have values to defend. The Catholic Church does not oppose a secularised society.
Citizens have the right to believe or not to believe and I stand for
that.


An Préachán again: as an old, cantankerous Irishman from the West might say, "Don't that drive the spike through the back of the donkey that carried Christ into Jerusalem, now!"
Don't it now, mhuise.

They used to put signs in windows in America: "NINA", No Irish Need Apply". So it is here, with Christ Himself. No place for Our Lord as the purpose and point of life, and transforming the world to Him, baptizing it in His Name. We Catholic Christians just have "values that are important to us" and "interfaith solidarity" to defend. Indeed, or in other words, "We surrender, utterly.

And doesn't line sound so Freemasonry? "We stand in solidarity with all those who strive for a more just and more fraternal society." It just reminds me of "Liberté, égalité, fraternité", itself a Masonic slogan.
