Virtual unreality
Insulated and isolated individuals living in a world of virtual unreality. In a time when all talk of diversity, never has there been less diversity when all conform to a collective consciousness; not from The Divine Decree, but from the demagogue diktat. Modern media puts psychological pressure to leave the real world to escape and seek happiness in the virtual world. The almost religious promised land where people possess excellent health, exquisite beauty, and eternal youth. Instead of denouncing the demonic; the digital world deifies it, disguises it, dismisses it, or denies it. Our never-ending entertainments start out as exhilarating and end up being exhausting. We live in a world of superficial indulgence and spiritual impoverishment. Society has become superficial and shallow without the supernatural and sublime. Our Divine Deliverer deliver us from danger, from the demonic, and from the depths of despair.

In a world of selfies, the person taking the picture puts themselves front and center, in the forefront, the main attraction, and the center of attention. They set the tone, set the stage, shoot the shot, and call the shots. Individualism is a deeply detrimental deformation of individuality. Individualism is the ideology that identifies an individual intensely with self-preservation and self-interest to the exclusion of his or her social character and role in the community. Solely seeking self and selfishness is self-deceiving, self-deluding, self-demeaning and self-destructive.
The modernism and marxism mentality
The modernism and marxism mentality of priests as administrators has caused them to be functionaries. The modernism and marxism mentality of churches as organizations has caused them to be community centers. The modernism and marxism mentality of parishioners as secularists has caused them to gather for fellowship. Let us make a commitment to do everything we can to halt the encroachment of modernism and marxism polluting the hallowed halls of Holy Mother Church.
