The Catholic Church must stop flirting with anti-family ideologies and oppose them Romanian doctor
ROME,
May 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) –
Instead of leading faithful Catholics in battle against forces of evil that
seek to undermine and erase Christianity’s mark on civilization, the Catholic
Church under the leadership of Pope Francis is kowtowing to problematic
ideological systems that are opposed to life, family, the well-being of
society, and ultimately, to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, said Dr. Anca Cernea of
Romania in a talk given at an international life-and-family conference in Rome
last week. She urged conference participants to earnestly pray that Catholic
shepherds return to their primary “duty” of saving souls through evangelization
and conversion.

“We are worried to see the Church descending into an earthly ideologically-contaminated activism that encourages some ‘progressive’ groups that have a perfect plan on how to build a perfect world (after they are done with this one) - like the ‘popular movements,’ environmentalists, pacifists, indigenists, ‘anti-discrimination’ activists, and ‘population experts,’” she said during her May 6 talk given at the Rome Life Forum taking place in the Hotel Columbus, located steps away from St. Peter’s Basilica.
Cernea, who has lived and suffered under a communist regime, said that language used by Pope Francis in his encyclicals Evangelii Gaudium and Laudato Si' is especially concerning since it appears to come more from ideological textbooks inspired by communism rather than from the Gospel of Jesus.
