Secularism Today
to “secularize” is to make a sacred reality become profane, not religious. The process to attain this end is called “secularization.”
FATHER ALFONSO AGUILAR, LC
Secularism suffuses all areas of society — namely politics, culture, social life, religious practice and the Catholic Church.
In the political arena, we face anti-Christian and anti-religious legislation that forbids, for instance, religious symbols and group prayer in public, or crushes the objection of conscience in Catholic hospitals.
A state with secularist trends is indifferent or even hostile to confessional schools and charities that objectively help society flourish. Secularism is implemented by anti-life and anti-family policies as well as by policies that promote “alternative” types of family, such as same-sex “marriages.”
