By A.R. Corbel Dupont, Catholic Exchange - Unfortunately, Catholicism in particular and Christianity in general are declining in the West, especially Europe, Britain, and America. Given this decline, will the dignity and worth of an individual suffer a similar decline?... From the vantage point of Catholicism, the worth of an individual is not based on what one human deems appropriate to bestow upon another. Modern liberalism’s idea that freedom and rights come from the state is based on truth being relative to what one human is willing to grant to another... The Catholic view of human worth is radically otherwise.

By Fr. John A. Perricone, Crisis Magazine - Recreational Catholicism? Let me explain... It is an attribution identifying the current stage of collapse in the Roman Church. Its coinage is meant to convey the tangled knot of the therapeutic, political, theatrical, and ego-massaging trend besetting the Church, all of which produces a kind a zombie Catholic, who is daily fed on what Huxley called in Brave New World the “feelies”: engineered pleasures that maintain their victims in a state of floating euphoria.

By Gavin Ashenden, Catholic Herald - “Is the Pope a Catholic?” is old and well-used rhetorical repartee. It doesn’t require and answer. Or it didn’t until recently... After Pope’s Francis recent remarks about inter-religious dialogue in Singapore, theologians and laity are questioning whether what he said was authentically Catholic... As so often, when the Pope shoots from the hip, he causes either excitement or chaos depending on how Catholic or secular the listener is.
