The rejection of God is gripping much of the West, especially Europe, Cardinal Sarah said in a lecture at the Catholic University of America (CUA) on 14 June.
He called this "practical atheism", which has also entered the Church, when Catholic morality, Catholic doctrine and Catholic liturgy are rejected.
The cardinal also sees practical atheism when "sociology" or "lived experience" becomes the principle for forming moral [and immoral] judgements. In this way, God is pushed aside. He criticises that we often hear from bishops and bishops' conferences "that we have to adapt our moral theology to purely human considerations".
Rejecting Catholic morality makes everything conditional and subjective, Sarah explains: "Welcoming everyone [except Catholics] means ignoring Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium. "
Advocates of this ideology within the Church treat Revelation as "secondary". This shows how practical atheism works: "It does not deny God, but it operates as if God is not central." …More

I hope he moves on or has moved on from the hermeneutic of continuity.

He is correct…although he is hot and cold on things…
Excellent point by the Holy Spirit through Cardinal Sarah!!!
Unfortunately those who defend Bergoglio wont budge... I mean, israelites saw all the miracles but instead the majority chose a golden calf. Judas saw the dead come back to life instead chose 30 silver coins... they have seen the heresy and apostasy plagues with Bergoglio but hardened their hearts... Instead preferred to give their backs …More

Instead preferred to give their backs to the 2000 years of tradition and sound teaching. Sad to watch!

" I doubt if Mass attendance will ever reach the height that occurred before the revolution of Vatican II."
NOT IF ALL THERE IS IS THE VATICAN II NOVUS ORDO SERVICE THAT IS.
I'm really not one to talk, because I readily admit I don't go, nor do my siblings. But from simple observation, no way will the Novus Ordo be anything but a flop.More

Changing the Mass was one of the worst things ever to happen to the Catholic Church. I doubt if Mass attendance will ever reach the height that occurred before the revolution of Vatican II.
