As we speak’s Catholic tradition is marked by a profound and settled
spiritual indifferentism. Amongst many Catholics, to say what the
Church has at all times taught—that Jesus Christ is the one strategy to
salvation—is taken into account offensive, or at finest, rash. In sure
nations, the bishops’ conferences have virtually made a coverage
in opposition to looking for converts from different religions (or lack thereof).
Catholics, dominated by concern of human respect and compromised by their
personal non-public sins, are discovering increasingly more causes to not proclaim
Christ’s ethical teachings as effectively.
Ralph Martin, whose new ebook A Church in Disaster: Pathways
Ahead is a complete non secular analysis of our current
state of affairs, joins the present to debate the numerous elements contributing
to spiritual indifferentism. These embrace theological doubts about
whether or not anybody actually goes to hell (thanks, Balthasar), the
therapeutic tradition which has misplaced any sense of sin and justice,
the give attention to legalistic evaluation of culpability relatively than the
want to alter, and concern of human respect.
