The Pope's Comments Make Sense

The Pope said that U.S. society can undermine the faith. (Read the story.) This is very true. American individualism, the idea of "let's just all get along", political correctness, and the postmodern traits which carry the statement of "you can believe what you want as long as it's right for you" all contribute to the breakdown of faith. How can one lean on a crumbling wall? How can a house stand solidly on a cracked foundation? The truth is that one cannot. Faith built on anything but Christ alone cannot stand securely. Faith in whatever-floats-your-boat today will, in the end, not float anymore. It is only upon Christ and Him crucified that we lean. Any compromise will not work, for how can one compromise the Word made flesh?
