FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND: "If Churches came to understand that the greatest threat to faith today is not hedonism but distraction, perhaps they might begin to appear anew to a frazzled digital generation. Christian leaders seem to think that they need more distraction to counter the distraction Their services have degenerated into emotional spasms, there spaces drowned with light and noise and locked shut through the day, when their darkness and silence might actually draw those whose minds and souls have grown web-weary. But the mysticism of Catholic mediation - of the Rosary, of Benediction, or simple contemplative prayer - is a tradition in search of rediscovery. The monasteries - open up to more lay visitors - could try to answer to the same needs that the booming yoga movement has increasingly met." from Andrew Sullivan's article, "I Used to Be a Human Being" in New York Magazine.
