Cork-born Bishop Patrick O\u2019Donoghue urged Catholic students at Oxford University to have \u201can enquiring fidelity\u201d to the teaching of the Church and to abandon \u201cthe fictions foisted on us by some clergy, religious and laity who are disobedient and arrogant in their will-to-power.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was, for him, he said, a \u201cgreat joy\u201d being part of a Church \u201cthat has left behind the ghetto and the siege mentality,\u201d in order to \u201cproclaim to the world the liberating power of Christ\u2019s Gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he was distressed by \u201cthe pathetic situation of catechetics in this country, and the extent of ignorance and apostasy among generations of Catholics since the Vatican Council.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s most outspoken bishop, he regretted \u201cthe diminishment of the Catholic understanding of sin, man\u2019s need for redemption, the sacrificial nature of the Mass.\u201d<\/p>\n

This had led to \u201cthe virtual abandonment of Confession, the marginalisation of devotion to Mary, the intercession of the saints, and adoration of the Blessed sacrament.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bishop is the author of the 2-part plan for renewal called Fit for Mission? Schools and Fit for Mission? Church which has created a stir not just in Britain but around the English-speaking world.<\/p>\n

He believed that full renewal will only happen when Catholics, particularly leaders in \u201cschools, seminaries, parishes, and dioceses,\u201d stop obstructing the authentic implementation of the Council and \u201cpositively engage with it.\u201d <\/font><\/i> <\/p>\n

Another problem for the Church is the way \u201cthe secular mindset has gained a foothold in the lives of many Catholics, clergy and laity.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is seen in \u201ca certain scepticism or embarrassed reserve about the supernatural dimension of the Faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

This has led to essential Church doctrines being downplayed: the divinity of Christ, the Real Presence, the Trinity, the Immaculate Conception.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese bedrocks of the faith are either ignored or passed over quickly as unintelligible, irrelevant to our young people,\u201d he told the Newman Society.<\/p>\n

Many Catholics cannot get beyond the human. \u201cWe have clergy and laity criticising the Church as if she were only a human institution, not one that originates in the divine will,\u201d he said, while \u201cChristianity is reduced to an agency for the social betterment of mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bishop gave a list of recommendations to the students, urging them to \u201cembrace sacrifice as the hallmark of our lives and our spirituality.\u201d<\/p>\n

He invited them to \u201cre-discover the devotions of the Church, such as praying the rosary, the Stations of the Cross, Benediction and regular confession. The Holy Father goes every week, so why not us also.\u201d<\/p>\n

He asked them to \u201cstart from the assumption\u201d that the Church has good reasons for what she teaches, and to \u201csearch out those reasons\u201d in the Scriptures and the Catechism.<\/p>\n

A Catholic who says or teaches anything contrary to Church teaching should be politely but firmly challenged, \u201cbe they a lay catechist, teacher, deacon, priest or even a bishop.\u201d<\/p>\n

The students should take seriously the teaching \u201cthat you have a totally unique, immortal soul directly created by God, that when you die you will experience purgatory, and heaven, or hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

And they should \u201creject that wrong-headed view that dominates theology and New Testament studies that Jesus did not know himself to be the divine, the incarnate Son of God.\u201d <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
