I Am Roman Catholic

“There are nearly as many definitions of [b]Liberalism[/b] and [b]Modernism[/b] as there are forms of propaganda in the wide world. As the Church uses these terms, however, they may be roughly defined as follows:

[b]Liberalism: [/b]The belief that the human person is the ultimate source of freedom and goodness, and so must be emancipated not only from restrictive political and social systems but from the Church, religion and even God Himself. Thus liberalism is above all a spiritual rebellion that is almost inevitably combined with Modernism.
[b]
Modernism:[/b] The belief that human culture, as the lens through which reality is generally perceived, is actually determinative of truth, such that all convictions must be adapted to satisfy the values of contemporary culture. In practice, this will always be the dominant culture, that is, the fashionable culture of the elites who have the greatest power to form public opinion.

Perhaps the most obvious thing about the combination of these two terms is the following paradox: Once [b]liberals[/b] begin to regard human emancipation in terms of [b]Modernism[/b], they necessarily embrace regulatory and even totalitarian political mechanisms to ensure that everyone is properly [i]'liberated'[/i]. The State becomes the surrogate for God, but unlike God, the State does not respect human freedom."

Not sure how that definition of Liberalism works at all. I would never classify it as related to or springing from spiritualism. This definition seems more correct,

[quote]Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Whereas classical liberalism emphasizes the role of liberty, social liberalism stresses the importance of equality.[/quote]

Modern day liberals: Regressive, group thought mummies, anti-free speech, anti-critical thinking. Cult-like personalities who hate liberty and common sense. Moral relativism is their new religion and man made climate change myths are part of their new bible.

They will do anything to shut down free speech, capitalism and the free market. They believe the earth is in peril and every white christian male is reponsible for this and everything else wrong about the world. Logic is their enemy and truth is their menace. They have lost their grip on reality and choose to live in an insulated bubble where nobody disagrees with them. Government is their answer to everything and they bow at the altar of statism.

Favorite terms: racist, xenophobe, misogynist, hater.

They pretend to be inclusive and tolerant while never questioning a public education system which entails a bunch of indoctrinators ("teachers") who are at least 90 percent leftist.

Liberalism, a sick and twisted ideology which has destroyed more minds than one can imagine. This is modern day liberalism. There was a time when liberals fought for freedom of speech. But that was a very long time ago.

You are so funny!!! I could use atleast 80% of your "definitions" up there to describe modern day conservatism.
