little2add Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 our society has raised a generation untethered from God, trained to hate, and conditioned to believe violence is justified. Scroll through TikTok, Instagram, or the feeds of secular professors, and you’ll see what has happened. Religion is mocked. Faith is dismissed. Catholicism is pushed out of classrooms. Instead, young people are handed slogans: “fascist,” “Nazi,” “bigot.” They’re told that if someone holds different views, they are the enemy. And with impressionable hearts poisoned by this propaganda, some begin to believe the unthinkable: that it is acceptable—even righteous—to kill. The Catholic Church has always taught that every human life is sacred, made in the image and likeness of God. But when a generation is cut off from Christ, dignity is erased. Truth becomes relative. Politics replaces morality. Chaos replaces order. And violence becomes normalized. The so-called “intellectuals” at secular universities are no longer forming minds—they are deforming them. Social networks have become anti-catechisms, teaching hatred instead of holiness. And what is the result? A youth culture adrift in atheism, relativism, and despair. But there is an answer, it is the Catholic Truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 It is unfortunate that this is spread as a culture across both sides of the political spectrum. Just earlier today, I was talking with some people about how much politics has become demonizing each other and profiting off of perceptions rather than talking with respect and working out what is actually going to be the best for our country/countries. I wish we had more leaders calling this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little2add Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 It is precisely man’s forgetfulness of God, and his failure to give him glory, which gives rise to violence. Indeed, once we no longer make reference to an objective and transcendent truth, how is it possible to achieve an authentic dialogue? In this case, is it not inevitable that violence, open or veiled, becomes the ultimate rule in human relationships? Indeed, without openness to the transcendent, human beings easily become prey to relativism and find it difficult to act justly and to work for peace' Pope Benedict XVI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
