Something Else That's Getting Boring
05/30/2003

Anne Morse describes an anti-Catholic exhibit supported by the good folks at Princeton University in open violation of a policy that they would strictly apply to "art" that explicitly (probably implicitly) offended any other group, from Muslims to homosexuals. I think we've got to look for a new tack to take. These people don't care that their hypocrisy is obvious. They feel immune to consequences. Therefore, continuing to point out the instances is of little avail.

I think the emphasis of those who try to do something about such offenses must switch from broadly targeted incredulity at what the elites are doing to a more-specific incredulity that fellow Catholics — fellow Christians and even fellow religious — put up with it. The intelligensia and the institutions that follow them are little more than opportunistic infections, with almost as little sense and self-awareness... until they are pricked and prodded by the antibody or the scalpel.

What is needed is for Catholics to reaffirm their faith, to cease accepting the B.S. of relativism, and to realize that what little they gain by way of individual psychological comfort is vastly outweighed by the damage being done to them, their families, and their society.

But how does one make them see this?
