But, the English do not. I wonder why? Maybe some Brits can help me with this one. Maybe too much Dawkins and C. Hitchens?
I think it has to do with the fact that the English have a hard time not going with the flow these days.
I think the post-Vatican II idea of "dialogue with the world" has created too much compromise in the Catholic laity here.
I have traditional friends who cannot make intimate friendships any more with so-called Catholics in their parishes, who are disobedient regarding contraception, same-sex marriage, and a host of other things. They find priests who allow them to continue their non-Catholic lifestyles. They are never challenged.
Perfection starts with orthodoxy.
