Issues in Church and Sacraments
Summary
Issues in church and sacraments are practical atheism, deeply upright, deeply crooked, putting our faith to work and catholic devotions.
Practical Atheism is one who does not believe in God. It came from the Greek word “atheos” which means “without God” late Pope Paul VI labeled this as an insidious wolf in sheep’s clothing because it hides under a mantle of religious faith but worships wealth, power and the self. Atheism is out and opens, while practical atheism hides the religiosity of people. Most people may appear religious like the practical atheism but the truth is they don’t focus mainly on God but on instead they just focus on themselves since they just need a God who they can manage and hear their prayers cause the truth is they’re not interested in a God who will teach them about truth and justice. This disrespectful for God is not that obvious in the sense that practical atheist only uses God for their self-interest focusing only for one’s self. Idolatry is worshipping an idol; a false image of God is an idol. Idolatry is worshipping something that projects to one’s self like in times of solving a problem or granting wishes. We control God even though based on the scripture that we are created in the image and likeness of God but the saddest part is that we are the one who is re-creating God in our image. Practical Atheism is preoccupied with money, obsessed with wealth and material success. Self-centeredness, self-aggrandizement, distorted priorities and corruption as a way of life in a nation of fervent church-goers are the signs of practical atheism.
Deeply Upright, Deeply Crooked explains something about facing the reality. The Philippines is said to be the most religious country in all Asia and also one of the most immoral countries in all Asia, if not the most immoral. Philippines is also known to be the second most corrupt country in Asia this survey is an example of how deeply the Philippines is upright and at the same time how
