The Rise of the Romanists

There’s a new trend with young people today. We all need an authority over us in order to feel secure in our place, and we live in a maturing anti-authoritarian age. Parents have allowed children to do whatever the children want. Schools have labeled behavior problems “learning disabilities” and we reward the anti-authoritarian attitudes. The majority of evangelical protestant churches have taken a very anti-authoritarian approach in order to attract attendees. The gospel has been relegated from the central authority of our lives to a nice social and emotional addition to our lives.

I see the children of this era as wanting a solid foundation that is outside of themselves, and they are turning to institutions which are willing to provide it. They end up in prison, the military, the Jehovah Witnesses, and the Roman Catholic Church.

I know several friends who have ventured to the Roman Church as a means of finding definition and authority under which they might flourish. One of them in particular can be found at http://paleocrat.blogspot.com/

I’m not sure if this makes sense? Any comments?
