Pope in a Panic?

Is modern culture destroying faith or is the church panicking?


Modern culture is destroying faith, Pope warns
Sunday October 5, 2008

"nations once rich in faith and vocations are losing their own identity under the harmful and destructive influence of a certain modern culture.
"When men proclaim themselves absolute owners of themselves and the only masters of creation, are they really going to be able to construct a society where freedom, justice and peace reign?
"Is it not more likely -- as demonstrated by news headlines every day -- that the arbitrary rule of power, selfish interests, injustice and exploitation, and violence in all its forms, will extend their grip?"


Look at the language:-
harmful and destructive influence of a certain modern culture - The Evil Subtext? - 'I'm not prepared to say exactly what I am referring to, much better that I simply fan the flames of your personal fears about modern culture' - SNEAKY

are they really going to be able and Is it not more likely - These are presented as questions but the Evil Subtext? - They subtly deliver the inference that without the church man cannot exist. - APPALLING - it equates in my book with 'you cannot survive without your heroine'!
And the real reason of this Papal message?


Bishops, Since Darwin's truth became widely known, we've seen the collection plate shrinking and recognise that without injecting a little more fear into the equation we're going to be out of a job very soon!
So, as the nastiest thought we could come up with, eternal torture, doesn't seem to be doing the job anymore, you are to go back to your flock and promise chaos on earth!

Here endeth the Pope's very first
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"
speech?
This is one of the Too many questions
PEACE
