“The ‘crisis’ in today’s Church is finally a crisis not of resources but of baptism; it is a crisis of faith. The central issue of modern American Catholic life is the temptation to accommodate, to compromise, to get along, and to fit in—and then feel good about it. We accept tepidness in the name of pluralism. We put diversity of belief and behavior above truth. We place the individual above the common good. We elevate ‘tolerance’ above love, justice, and real charity. None of this converts anybody. It does the opposite. It provides people with alibis for indifference and inaction, and it leeches away their faith.” ~Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap. From his Foreword to “American Church” by Russell Shaw
