Because modern secularism does not include the Incarnation. Nor would it, because we know who the ruler of the present darkness is. We must lose our attachment to the assumptions of secularism and learn from our traditions. We must study the past and fill ourselves with the waters of grace that flow from the heart of our Lord into all the world. Let us be on our way, then. - Steven Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:56:24 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/does-christianity-exist.html#comment-2131 Briefly, “Christianity was founded by people who could not have cared less about ‘Christian civilization.’” Just imagine Peter and Paul worried about the decline of Christendom! What interested them was “Christ” Himself. What did His presence in the world mean for our own lives? “Christians believed in Christ, not in Christianity itself.” Christianity is a cultural abstraction." Sounds like the indictment of Christianity brought by Kierkegaard... although more charitable in this case? - Adam Sat, 13 Jun 2009 07:51:50 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/does-christianity-exist.html#comment-2121 Steve G, there are many nice guys in the KKK too, and quite a bit of diversity. Evil monolith? no, but let's not set up the picnic just yet. THe "mideval mindset" comment applied to those who see the shortcomings of the Islamic worldview is little more than an ad-homonym fallacy. - Achilles Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:10:14 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/does-christianity-exist.html#comment-2114 One thing I dont understand is the peacful nature of the religion that speaks of killing infidels. Jesus never spoke of killing. - Joe Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:47:07 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/does-christianity-exist.html#comment-2112 Having returned from a business trip to the Middle East this morning, I would encourage my Catholic brothers and sisters not to treat Islam like an evil monolith, tempted though we might be to return to a Medieval mindset. The "Muslim world" is as diverse as Christianity. Obama's speech was received as a sign of basic respect (similar to that of when Pope John Paul II kissed a Koran). A little known fact: Mary is respected in Islam and mentioned more in the Koran than the Bible - Steve G.

Are we being told that the wave of the future is toward Islam? For sure, population replacement is in that direction, as we kill our future by anti-Christian"freedom of choice" Whatever will the radical feminists do under Sharia law.In Western civilization there is a marked reduction in moral truth and a repudiation of first principles.The idea of family has been prostituded. Is the fiber of our past now gone? - Willie Thu, 11 Jun 2009 08:20:11 +0100
