Errors of Liberalism and Progressivism

The underlying philosophies of liberals and progressives, according to Michael Voris, is that man's problems can be solved by man alone.  They refuse to admit that man's problems originate in man's fallen human nature, fallen through Original Sin.  Of course, they also try to erase God from the equation.  We find this also in humanism; the Humanist Manifesto (in all its versions) is quite a study into their mental paradigms.  We also see this type of erroneous mentality in progressives within the Church.  They hold that the Church's primary mission is to solve man's problems - or what they perceive man's problems to be.  Hence we see the money in the USCCB being waylaid to all sorts of anti-life organizations in the name of "socal justice". 

We can also thank them for presenting to Catholics such horse manure as the "lenten carbon fast".  Notice as you read that thing that there is no reference to eternity - no mention of heaven or hell, no mention of our need to secure eternal salvation, which has always been an authentic goal of Lent.
