Entry: Theological Cannon Fodder Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/theological_cannon_fodder#18178 Post contents: There is a strong campaign against Catholicism in America, coming from the political elites (if one studies how the paedophile scandals were reported and executed one can not escape such a conclusion). And perhaps many choose the easy way out for the sake of goals such as careers, financial security, or in some circles just to be accepted. But even without that I think America is very much a protestant (actually fundamentally Calvinist) country, it is very difficult to be American and Catholic at the same time. I think part of it is that the Catholic Church is one big European (not only European, but significant to European culture) institution that so far has consistently refused to give in to the US warmongering policies. It is probably true that the RCIA is low level, and many other such programs are similar. However, I wonder what would happen if the Church pushed more to introduce the original Latin Rite mass, or the heritage of the Gregorian chants/Baroque music in the US. HOw many high school kids would appreciate it more than what is on MTV? Sent at: 2009 01 08
