Get rid of your 'false hang-ups' and be disciples of Christ, cardinal says
![]() Cardinal Stanyslaw Rylko

.- The president of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, Cardinal Stanyslaw Rylko, said this week, “The time has come to free ourselves from our false hang-ups of inferiority towards the secular world and courageously be ourselves, disciples of Christ.” During his remarks at the opening of the Council’s plenary assembly, which this year is focused on the theme, “Twenty years after Christifideles laici: memory, development and new challenges and tasks,” the cardinal stated that “our true problem is not being a minority, but rather having voluntarily become marginal, irrelevant, because of our lack of courage, so that we will be left alone, because of our mediocrity.” According to the L’Osservatore Romano, Cardinal Rylko denounced the “dictatorship of relativism” that Pope Benedict XVI has correctly identified, in which universal truth does not exist. “The rush to create a ‘new man’ completely detached from the Judeo-Christian tradition, a new ‘world order,’ a new ‘global ethic,’ is gaining ground,” the cardinal said, and thus a “new anti-Christianity” is emerging that makes it politically correct to attack Christians and Catholics in particular. “Whoever wishes to live and act according to the Gospel of Christ in the Western liberal democracies must pay a price,” he stated.

Yes, the New World Order is gaining ground and is precipitating the collapse of society, especially in the West, where it is far advanced. The new post-Christian philosophy isn't working.
Let us tell our atheists neighbours how their new fangled beliefs are leading to the decay and collapse of society. Christianity is indeed superior to all other foundations.

The Cardinal speaking reminds me of the 60'swhen there was the beginning of the fight to stop abortion..There were those of us who worked with Rep. Hyde, Father Lawler and the Baptists wh;o joined us in Springfield Il at Hearings. At that time my pastor would not have an anti abortion circulated in church and the Council of Catholic Women and Cardinal Cody would not get involved. We got together on school issues and met with groups from aqcross the states and England in Washington, D.C. and pieces of the world and mind polution plans became evident. One world Government with Rocketfeller Foundation, Kissinger, Siecus. ( A cartel that is still around and has added more with Planned Parenthood).. The issue now is not only through education in the schools and the Liberal Press but in the Control of Food Manufacturing with the hybrids and storing the natural seeds. Th eb ther's the control of the Pharmaceutical Companies who are the frequent cause of deaths and ill health while people are not encouraged to follow alternative methods. The Democrats have done a good job of holding down the oil exploration in the gulf of Mexico and in Alaska and the push to Socialism, One World Government with the control of the many. It's De Ja Vu and warnings many of us tried to educate people about. Now its materialsim first and God last in our Society and we have to pray harder. Keep up the good work and God Bless. I quit 2 jobs during my Nursing areer over the abortion Issue. L, Cook

For more perspective on what the fear is here, read the book "Windswept House" by Fr. Malachi Martin. It is "roman a clef", basically fact thinly disguised in a fictional format with names changed, and only fictionalized enough to tell a readable story. He said the book is about 85% fact.

This is so true about a "new world order? r anti Chirstianity emerging making it politically corect to attack catholics in particular.
I feel that this is happening more than ever in the USA and therefore, it is up to american Catholics to rise courageously and protest as often as possible. The so call global order tends to follow the american trend, so it is particularly in America that we have to fight the good fight.
