When They Tell You That the Moral Teachings of the Catholic Church Are Wrong

cover It would be humorous, if the consequences weren’t so tragic, that contemporary society tries desperately to convince us that Catholic compassion is wrong because it lacks compassion.
     All of us—but especially children and young adults—are constantly being tempted by liberal rationalism to doubt the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. Today, we are induced to look with desire at immoral behaviors that separate us from a holy life, and, when we fall for the trap, we justify those immoral behaviors with a pernicious yet seemingly innocent notion, “How can there be anything wrong with something that seems so nice?”
     This book can help you understand how friends, teachers, professors, the entertainment industry—and even priests—can lead you away from God under the deceptive guise of “being compassionate.”
     Still, we have an obligation—an obligation that ensues from having chosen to follow Christ in the way of the cross—to not hate those who hate chastity, to not fear those who fear suffering, to not reject those who reject holiness itself. And even if they close their ears to our words, we have a compassionate obligation to pray that they might someday, before they die, make the choice to listen to, rather than reject, the Holy Spirit. We have an obligation to live the genuine compassion that much of contemporary society around us wants to reject.
