Joy at the appointment of cardinals Gregory Rysia and Konrad Krajewski For a minute she silenced the spite and ridicule that usually dwells in me. due to the fact that there was hope that the crisis of Catholicism in Poland, which Fr. Joseph TischnerMaybe it's over.
After the fall of Communism, Tischner noted that Christianity was becoming increasingly politicized. He described both the Church's seduction by politics and its increasingly ostentatious entering into political agreements.
Thus Christianity began to reduce itself to the function of political force.
Using power — and reaching for it — gave emergence to a sense of strength. Tadeusz Rydzyk He almost grew to the rank of deity, and the number of his acolytes grew.
Tischner wrote directly: it was a pastoral option that accelerated secularization in Poland.
Dechristianization, which was attempted to counteract through the political conflict against liberalism, only deepened. The Gospel of good and freedom stopped reaching society.
Tischner claimed that liberalism and Catholicism are not hostile to each another — on the contrary, they should complement themselves:
- Liberalism: Freedom, Human Rights, Autonomy
- Catholicism: the existence of nonsubjective moral truth
This can be summarised in 1 sentence:
Freedom must be rooted in good, or it gives birth to evil.
Just as the restrictions on freedom erstwhile bore piles and instruments of torture of the Inquisition.
All right, I'm...
One more minute and I will proclaim the triumph of liberal Catholicism.
Imagine:
- acceptance of the priesthood of women and abolition of compulsory celibacy
- recognition of the right to contraception, euthanasia, divorce and in vitro fertilisation
- moving distant from the designation of homosexual acts as sin — and consequently besides accepting single-sex marriages
Not long ago, specified words would burn at the stake.
