Lenten Retreat in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. Talk 1 of 3: Neopaganism
* In Chapter One of his Epistle to the Christian community at Rome, Apostle St. Paul presents the dark and oppressing reality of man in paganism: love for pleasure and selfishness take over and certain decline is the only future.
* A rather similar picture presents the same Apostle in Chapter Three of his Second Letter to Timothy–with an addition: in those “last days” people will regard themselves as “religious.” Their false idea of spirituality makes them regrettably blind to Christ’s splendour.
