It's even infected the Catholic Church, wreaking havoc on her mission to the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is indifference deadly to Catholicism?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it turns Catholicism into just another religion, it neuters the Church's role as our path to salvation and converts the parish into little more than a social gathering place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormer Catholics now constitute the second largest \"religion\" in America. Seventy percent of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist -- and even higher percentages reject the Church's moral teachings. Mass attendance is in freefall, and even the most basic habits of Sunday-going Catholics, such as regular Confession, have been lost. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Sammons, a former diocesan director of evangelization and now the editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eCrisis Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, pulls the curtain back on the rise of religious indifference, uncovering a wealth of fascinating particulars about what made the Church work, and what is causing the new to collapse. He identifies the most damaging distortions of the Faith, presented as progress, and explains why Church leaders felt compelled to upend traditional Catholic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn captivating detail, Sammons explores why the New Evangelization was destined to fail and explains how the decision to de-emphasize the Church's exclusive role in the process of salvation inevitably led to mass abandonment of the sacraments. He identifies how certain teachings were ignored or toned down -- leading to their sudden collapse -- and how progressives elevated ecumenism over evangelization and supplanted proclamation of the Gospel with \"dialogue.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeadly Indifference \u003c\/i\u003eis both a vital examination of the current crisis facing the Church and a blueprint for how to overcome it.
