An Unchanging Church

It is perfectly true that other Christian denominations have adopted the whims of the world, embracing contraception, same-sex marriage, and other modern fads. But churches which have chosen this path have chosen self-destruction. The Episcopal Church, the flagship of accommodation to a permissive culture, is rapidly dwindling, splitting between those who have chosen to embrace the Faith their fathers rejected and those who have embraced the new morality. The acquiescence of Christian denominations to the dictates of the new morality has rendered them increasingly irrelevant.

The Catholic Church is a rock in a desert of shifting sands, an unchanging diamond in a sea of shattered glass. Her constancy is Her power; Her fidelity to Christ her strength. Let the Church be as She is, or cease to be.

    I think it was Peter Kreeft who said that there are no conservative/liberal Catholics – only those who are orthodox and those who are heretics.

    “The Church must therefore assert…” & “The Church’s insistance…” somehow didn’t sit right with me: Like someone who has to raise their voice in anger, thinking it somehow strengthens their argument.” It is what it is.” The Truth is the Truth is the Truth… I know; I’m probably just “Splitting Hairs”, but it just feels better for me to see the Church’s function as being “Protector of the Truth” more-so than Her having to assert or insist on the Truth. Anyone who promotes RELATIVism (there is no truth except that which is RELATIVE to one’s own appetites or experiences ie; Pilot’s asking Jesus “Truth- What is Truth ? “) is similar to an animal making mere noises; If they can’t demonstrate how their reasoning arrives at a logical conclusion, they have nothing on which to base their claim. ["They will turn their ears away from the Truth and be turned aside to fables." II Tim. 4: 4 ]

    I think the reason that the author uses such language is because, in our modern, secular, relativistic world, the Church must respond to attacks against Her. With so many dissenting individuals attacking the Church, She is in defense mode. The Church still is the Protector of Truth, while still at times having to “assert” and “insist” on the Truth.
