It’s not unusual to hear a church person lamenting the faithlessness of his would-be flock. But in this funny little CNA article Father Benno Benes SDB seems to lament the prosperity and freedom of the Czech people.
“In communist times, the people stuck together, because they could feel that the Church was under enormous pressure. But today, the freedom and the liberalisation of life are so strong, that the Church does not belong any more to the priorities of people’s life,” the Salesian father lamented. “Society is not interested in the Church.”
It does seem that Father longs for the bad old days. Like, if there are no atheists in foxholes, let’s have universal war and all souls will be saved.
It’s sort of like a horseshoe-er bemoaning the advent of the automobile.
It’s a career thing.
