truth and error together

The confusion increases

A priest of the Church of Rome could also be a Buddhist or Hindu?

The religious confusion is reaching limits never known or imagined. It seems that everyone believes in a position to build their own religion while professing to be part of a recognized religion.

I remember my surprise, many years ago when a wealthy family man in Rome told me candidly that, religiously, he considered himself a "practicing atheist." The phrase was new to me. So I asked him what he meant. I did not know how an atheist "practiced" his religion.

"It's simple," he said, "I'm an atheist, but practical, the national religion, Catholic."

Since that time I have known many. I would say that perhaps thousands of people who have claimed to be Catholics, while at the same time, they told me that they did not believe this or that other dogma of the church. Even if the church said that whoever does not believe its doctrines and outside the church, they felt Catholic faithful in all respects.

Certainly there are many believers "evangelicals" who, by choice, dropping some degli insegnamenti della Bibbia, morali o dottrinali, credendoli sorpassati, impraticabili o assurdi ai tempi nostri.

In altre parole, moltissime persone non credono, se sono cattoliche, al magistero della chiesa o, se sono evangeliche, all’infallibilità della Bibbia, come guide autorevoli della loro vita personale per quanto riguardo la morale o il comportamento. Mentono, fornicano, barano, calunniano senza il minimo senso di colpa, perché fa comodo, fa piacere, conviene, o perché “tutti lo fanno”.

Ho letto l’altro giorno un’interessante affermazione paradossale di un noto prete e teologo, Raion Panikkar, della chiesa di Roma: “Sono partito dall’Europa as a Christian [to visit and India]. I found that they are Hindu, and returned as a Buddhist, never having ceased to be Christian. "

But the truth is one, unique, eternal. It is infallible and unalterable code for the true Christian. The rest is humanism accommodating, deceptive philosophy, but, above all, deadly mistake.
