A

Idealistic dogmatism

81
Q

Placing our faith in _____ and in his teachings is a great challenge.

A

Jesus

82
Q

A concept of the world according to which the latter is self-explanatory, without any need for recourse to God, who thus becomes superfluous and an encumbrance.

A

Secularism

83
Q

This sort of secularism, in order to recognize the power of man, therefore ends up by doing without God and even by denying Him.

A

Secularism

84
Q

We are daily faced, under the most diverse forms, with a consumer society, the pursuit of pleasure set up as the supreme value, a desire for power and domination, and discrimination of every kind: the inhuman tendencies of this “humanism.“

A

Secularism

85
Q

The acquisition of worldly goods can lead men to greed, to the unrelenting desire for more, to the pursuit of greater personal power.

A

Materialism

86
Q

An object already owned but now superseded by something better is discarded, with no thought of its possible lasting value in itself, nor of some other human being who is poorer.

A

Throw-Away Culture

87
Q

This super-development, which consists in an excessive availability of every kind of material goods for the benefit of certain social groups, easily makes people slaves of “possession” and of immediate gratification, with no other horizon than the multiplication or continual replacement of the things already owned with others still better.

A

Consumerism

88
Q

only bloats the heart. It can offer occasional and passing pleasures, but not joy.

A

Consumerism

89
Q

can prove our downfall, for when we are obsessed with our own pleasure, we end up being all too concerned about ourselves and our rights, and we feel a desperate need for free time to enjoy ourselves.

A

Hedonism and Consumerism

90
Q

These lead us to understanding the challenges/obstacles to faith

A
  1. First is the simple denial that God exists, or that Jesus Christ is Lord, the only begotten Son. “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’ ” (Ps 14:1). CFC 176
  2. There is the pragmatic, secularistic mentality that measures all human success in terms of “economic and social emancipation.” Gaudium et Spes 20
  3. Poverty and injustice among us.
  4. The “natural” self-centeredness or pride that tempts everyone to see any dependence on God as against human freedom and self-fulfillment.
91
Q

In #4, From this attitude arises

A

current skepticism,

doubts and incredulity.

92
Q

4: This mind-set is based on a false image:

A

1) God as some authoritarian Judge, arbitrarily imposing His will on us;
2) our freedom as totally independent of God.

93
Q

The liturgy is not seen as the source and apex of the Church’s life. Rather it is seen as

A

one department of life, without an intimate connection with social, economic and political life.

94
Q

If we exist, it is because

A

God has created us through love, and through love continues to hold us in existence

95
Q

We cannot live fully according to truth

unless

A

we freely acknowledge that love

and entrust ourselves to our Creator. Gaudium et Spes, 19

96
Q

Genuine Christian Faith, in its ethical-prophetic role, fosters

A

basic human personal and social values.

97
Q

Genuine Christian Faith shapes the lifestyle of Christians according to

A

Gospel priorities and authentic human responsibility and justice.

98
Q

Besides the material help thus offered, the deeper, more lasting contribution may well be

A

in showing “good example” by putting the faith into practice. CFC 190

99
Q

We cannot worship God in our churches and shrines, and then

A

disregard Him in the daily business of life. (PCP II 168)

100
Q

God gives us the gift of faith freely because

A

He loves us

101
Q

It is unlikely any other material gift. Material gifts may fade or be destroyed in time.
But FAITH becomes deeper and stronger with

A

constant action

102
Q

Faith requires action

A
103
Q

When grace is lost, faith becomes devoid of its end, since it no longer leads

A

to the love of God

104
Q

It is then called “_______” or “deformed faith,” because faith, which “_______,” is now deprived of its proper function.

A

formless faith; arouses hope and works through love

105
Q

A

dead
