Evangelization can be frustrating. After 25 years evangelizing in my personal life and in official roles with the Church, including as a diocesan Director of Evangelization, I know this well. Few Catholics, of course, would be surprised that evangelization can be arduous. They may be surprised, however, at the way censorship in the Church poses a threat to evangelization. The little-known truth is that certain viewpoints, even though compatible with Catholic theology, are censored both by the institutional Church as well as many orthodox Catholic organizations—viewpoints that directly impact the success of evangelization efforts.You know . . . I was actually hoping against hope that the author would deal with the issue of how the Catholic Church ridicules traditional ideas of Biblical authorship/authority and how it promotes evolutionism and brands any flirtation of any kind whatsoever with creationism to be inherently Protestant, un-Catholic, and heretical.
I should have known better. Apparently evolution and higher criticism are two things all Catholics at all points of the spectrum believe in.
