In a recent meeting with U.S. Bishops in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI made some pointed comments about the dangers of radical secularism in the United States. It is a valid point that the anthropology of radical secularism is very limited and limiting. It does not allow for the full dignity of the human person. The best it can offer is an isolated individualism.
Reflections on following Christ in our contemporary world and discerning ones vocation. "Don't be afraid, dear friends, to take the 'alternate' path indicated by true love: a sober and solid lifestyle, with loving, sincere and pure relations, an honest commitment to studies and work, and the profound interest in the common good." Pope Benedict XVI to the young pilgrims gathered in Loreto, Italy
