The Secular Roots of Our Moral Crisis

De: Bill Donohue

Narrado por: Bill Donohue

In this incisive work, Bill Donohue pulls no punches as he contends that our moral crisis is a reflection of two competing visions of morality — one religious and the other secular. The former is grounded in our Judeo-Christian tradition, the latter in radical notions of liberty and equality that are tearing us asunder.

Donohue explains how the religious vision acknowledges belief in God, truth, human nature, natural law, moral absolutes, and Original Sin. It understands the limits of the human condition and thus rejects the notion that human perfectibility can be realized on earth. The secular vision believes none of this, and its adherents are bent on destroying the last vestiges of our religious heritage.

Weaving together examples from the earliest centuries to the Enlightenment to modern times, Donohue seamlessly lays out how to restore our moral code so that the mainstreaming of madness is terminated and rolled back. You will find answers about:

• Whether all cultures and civilizations are morally equal
• The balance between individual rights and the common good
• The importance of natural law and reason in guiding society
• What is filling the void of secularization (You will be shocked!)

Additionally, Donohue exposes religious bigotry toward Christians in America and sounds the alarm for governmental accountability since free speech is no longer tolerated when it opposes the approved narrative. The secular vision, he further attests, embraces and promotes radical ideas about sexuality that work to the detriment of individuals and society. Donohue explains how accepting the postmodern, sexually decadent views of “intellectual visionaries” has historically led to violent chaos in other cultures — and may well do so again.

Informative

An essential read for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic interplay between cultural currents and religious traditions. Highly recommended for scholars and casual readers alike.

Very Informative

I teach RCIA and a permanent deacon in the Catholic Church. I am also a Spiritual Director. I can extract stats from this book and use them in the Catholic Morality class and homilies. I wish Mr. Donohue provided some of his references as an attachment. May be he has them in the kindle and hard copy versions? The state of our culture is an indication about the type of influence we as Catholics are having on the society. I encourage all faith teachers and group leaders to incorporate the atrocities that are going on in the schools, libraries, universities. This is part of our responsibility. We owe it to our Lord Jesus.
