Man's Thinking is the Root of the Loss of Faith

Man’s thinking is the root of the loss of faith today. The modern world which correctly should be described as the modern “age” ceases to believe in the supernatural, that which is beyond human reason, power, nature and reach. It is also the age of unbelief in certainties and objective absolutes.  The Christian religion is centred on God’s Spirit and Character therefore it is supernatural. It is the bridge to God. But modern thinking ceases to believe the supernatural in favour of the natural. Objective, law based codes of morality are being replaced by the subjective and relativism. God’s absolute commandments are being replaced by man’s relative values. The natural desire for happiness is of divine origin. Happiness is the single most important meaning of life. It is the single and highest want of Man. All humans who have ever lived on earth have asserted this one proposition. It was put there by God to bring man to Him who alone can fulfil the hearts desire. Catholicism is the paradigm, the compass that directs us through the territory of our lives to heaven, to happiness. Catholicism is the sole answer to the meaning of man and the universe. There is no other answer. All other answers are meaningless, in the sense they do not meet man’s eternal quest. God is the source of all good and all love.
