Fa 'the collection, do not buy Nutella, not to privatize water, smoke, read the Bible in the fundamental historical-critical exegete comment trendy Buy "Christian Family", praises Obama and its health care reform, to give the Holy Roman Church Ottopermille etc. Who writes this nonsense has at least two defects (forgivable) and perhaps third, much more serious.
1) He has lost all touch with reality. The world is drowning in vice, and perhaps more than moralistic preaching is no need for priests in the confessional ready to welcome those who want to reconcile with God Perhaps more than the privatization of the problem is that men have forgotten God, do not pray give themselves to any kind of perversion, as if they were beasts, consider abortion to normal: in a word are desperate.
2) In addition, the priest who preaches these things is most often the victim of a nasty inferiority complex in relation to secular culture. We Christians have St. Thomas Aquinas and Joseph Ratzinger. Why should we invite Massimo Cacciari? Why should we surrender to neo-Darwinism when this same ideology, however, beat a retreat?
I remember a lecture by a liturgist, monaco Benedictine University of Padua, who spoke of "rites" even among animals, in a context where the reference points were the neo-Darwinian. But what we had?
dialogue with everyone, yes, but to convert everyone to Christ. The goal, we should remember, is not to fill the room, but to save souls. (By the way: the room is filled with more then if you talk instead of the last things that if you say how bad Bush is bombing the Taliban, but these are the details ...)
Finally, there is, as said the most serious defect.
3) This defect is morality, about which refer to my post : Christ is replaced with a moral system of rules and precepts (which is not even the 10 commandments). And then they wonder that people do not follow them more ...
