Warning Against Spirit Of Adulation Bordering On Servility

Denver Catholic bishop utters the words of caution that have been pulsating in America for a long time.

Interesting, since the church tends to refrain from direct politics.

Canadians packed St. Basil’s Church in Toronto on Monday evening to hear Archbishop Charles Chaput speak about how Catholics should live out their faith in the public square. He warned that in the U.S., Catholics need to act on their faith and be on guard against “a spirit of adulation bordering on servility” that exists towards the Obama administration.

The public lecture by Archbishop Chaput took place on the campus of the University of Toronto at St. Basil’s Church and was attended by an overflow crowd of more than 700 people.
