. . .the warnings of Moses and the other prophets are not obsolete. If the Church does not serve God, she risks becoming captive to hostile powers. We know what it looks like when the Church forgets her holiness: Daily discipleship gives way to rote weekly churchgoing. Tough demands of the Gospel are ignored. Prayer, fasting, and penance are bypassed. Christ’s holy Church becomes indistinguishable from the world. This, I suspect, is the deeper cause of the many present threats to religious freedom in America. When Catholics spend six days of each week living like everyone else, we find that our right to practice our faith in everyday life starts to come under threat and even disappear. The prophets tell us that this is no coincidence. --The Most Rev. James D. Conley catholicnewsagency/column.php?n=2608
