Out of this concern over the “grief’s and anxieties of the men of this age" Catholicism has come very close to substituting the worship of man for the worship of God.

This by far, I believe, is the greatest danger of our times. When we decide that we can alter the family structure into anything at all, when we decide that we know when it is best to kill unborn babies (and now even born ones), when we decide that we should tamper with the genetic code to create new forms of life, when we decide that old age is subject to a human judgment of worthiness, when we decide that sex is to be revered in any bizarre and dangerous form for only the momentary release it brings, when we decide that any spiritual belief is as good as any other, when we devote our lives to wealth, health and new experiences, and when we teach our children to think of themselves first, we have made man God. The Catholic Church in many places has taken several fateful steps into this miasmic sea, but is still hopefully close to God's shore. Many other faiths are drowning in the love of man ocean. It will take strength, courage, a true love of God and faith in Him to make sure that the Catholic Church returns completely to God's land.

I fully agree.

Examine the handling of Libertion Theology by the Church as an additional point of concern.
