The winds of change are blowin’ for liberal “theologian” Paul Hwang as he indoctrinates the young and, hardly inculpable, ignorant Catholics with his anti-clerical and syncretistic heresies. But, his kind have been around for decades now, promoting all kinds of gelatinous substitutes for the true, visible, and hierarchical religion. Any union-less unity will do for cosmic-minded pretenders of Dr. Hwang’s ilk as long as the change does not involve a mea culpa for the sin of idolatry, heresy, or religious indifferentism. For Hwang, animism is not incompatible with Catholicism. Why not? Because he does not believe in the authentic Catholic Faith, the Faith that so many martyrs died for rather than violate the First Commandment.
