Scanning the World’s Living
As we scan the world’s landscape, we can readily see that we are living in a grave moment of human history with perilous threats upon our civilization. We see long-honored social norms and institutions breaking down. We see the family, the basic cell of society, gravely threatened by social cancer. We see moral and ethical values collapsing in a raging storm of immorality and criminality. We see politics and public service, devoid of high principles of, losing their noble purpose and mission. We see materialism and secularism becoming the common denominators of social behavior and goals. We see liberal capitalism and its unbridled market forces ruling the world economy, undermining authentic human development, and causing irreversible dmage to ecological bio-systems that support life on earth. We see sex, violence and drugs want only exploited with dire cinsequences to society and human behaviot. These are signs of faith on retreat.
