Outrageous!
With Interfaith what they seek is not conversion to the True Faith but simply convergence. To supplant what is truly Catholic, with what is merely global until there is nothing left from the Authentic Faith of Christ.
Yes, this is true of "Interfaith" pursuits. When I was in high school while the Newmass was trucked in like the Circus coming to town, my erstwhile Catholic school made the decision to provide a haven for non-Catholics, even atheist students. They would never have done that if not for the unclean spirit of Vat.II and its consequences.
We can see additional spill-over today in the complicity of Catholic 'apologists' who spend more time apologizing for what the Church has NOT been than for defending what she HAS been. They are wont to endure all manner of insult for being Catholic, while they punish and exclude anyone who dares to stand firm in opposition to such calumny. This is most glaringly apparent in the scientific community where atheists pretty much rule the roost and any Catholic who dares to challenge their false precepts is mercilessly attacked with any kind of hate-speech they can dredge up, effectively breaking their own rules without consequence. It's literally a one-way street.
In the pursuit of the Church of "niceness", they conveniently forget that the real obstacle to inter-religion dialogue, is Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The Son of God made flesh! The Very Word Incarnate! There is not possible reconciliation there since this Truth is exclusive.
Very well said, Cantarella! :cheers:
This inter Faith pluralist type of Church is an utter absurdity, just as it is absurd to believe that the Holy Trinity is the same Buddha, Allah, Thor, etc.
(You had "Budda" and "Thorn." :geezer: )
The problem is rooted in definition, and the Church of Nice refuses to define anything. But if they were to honestly define "dialogue" it would be,
Everyone getting together to talk openly about religion, Catholics together with non-Catholics, having at least the tacit agreement that they're attempting to discover the truth, but presuming from the start, that none of them already have it.
However, when you add atheists to the mix, what you have is something altogether new. For when atheists are included with a gracious welcome, they are admitted on a special privilege because they are not in agreement with the latter provision; they believe they DO have the truth, and their purpose in joining the discussion is to make everyone else atheist, too.
How does it apply to atheists?, you might ask. Well, let me tell you then. The Romans One curse applies to atheists because it is their sin of pride, intellectual pride, by which they dare to ignore the helps God gives us to believe in Him everywhere we look. There are four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance and the other three entail victims that are obvious. But in the case of the sin against nature, the victim might not be overtly obvious. The unnatural vice has a key characteristic in its nature to export its heresy, its offense against God. The practitioner of this vice cannot contain his desire to
'evangelize' his sin everywhere he goes. Consequently all of society becomes the victim of this sin against nature, and on an intellectual level, the sin of atheism is none the less guilty of this nature to propagate itself. (St. Paul's literal words, "working that which is filthy" (Rom. i. 27) and "...a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient" (Rom. i. 28), apply on an intellectual level as well as a physical one.)
Just as the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ deep down desires that everyone would become ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, so too the atheist deep down desires that everyone would become atheist.
This phenomenon is a direct result of the Romans One curse authored by St. Paul, The Apostle to the Gentiles. In particular it applies to those who practice the sin that cries to heaven for vengeance, the sin of Sodom, but in general it applies no less to atheists, who sit in Modernism as if it were in their own house. (Cf.
Pascendi domenici gregis)
They end up having a pantheon Church, a tower of Babel of religions in which nothing is true. In the modernist agenda of admitting that all religions are somehow true, they actually accept that all of them are false.
Christ does not command to "enter to dialogue" with pagans or unbelievers, let alone praying with them. 
Yes, yes and yes.
