A Disturbing Trend in Our Society: The Lack of Trust in Our Institutions - Part 1 by Ed Bagley
Copyright © 2007 Ed Bagley
The lack of trust for institutions in our society may be reaching epidemic levels.
This slow, eroding lack of trust has become a widespread occurrence of an undesirable phenomenon that is ripping at the very fabric of our social beliefs and habits. A recent article in USA Today (10-29-07) by Henry Brinton, a Presbyterian pastor in Virginia, addresses this social shift in attitudes.
Brinton is "convinced that the Christian faith is becoming more like Wikipedia and less like Encyclopedia Britannica. Instead of time-tested religious insights, people are now accepting 'what others are saying'," a reference to the fact that any one of 5.5 million registered users of Wikipedia online can edit the religious information.
In a real sense, sophisticated revisionists can re-write history on Wikipedia.
One national leader in an Islamic Republic is preaching that the Holocaust never happened, when in fact the Jews were among more than 6 million persecuted groups that were mass murdered under the German Nazi regime from 1941 to 1945 during World War II.
A survey by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago has recorded a drop in trust among social institutions since the 1970s. To wit:
Trust in banks and financial institutions dropped from 35% to 28%, major companies from 26% to 17%, the nation's press from 24% to 9%, educational institutions from 36% to 27%, and organized religion from 35% to 24%.
Apparently some mainline denominational religions that grew in the 1940s and 1950s and began to lose membership in the 1960s are today one-third smaller than they were 40 years ago.
They have been replaced by a rise in non-denominational community congregations that attempt to serve the needs of their worshippers more directly with contemporary praise music in worship and a variety of programs aimed at the needs of children, youths, college students, singles, couples, women and men.
I have attended some worship services at these New Age non-denominational community congregations and can attest to the trend.
As a converted Roman Catholic, I have noticed that many of the New Age churches are not organized in the sense of having and following a liturgical year.
A Catholic Mass is predictable anywhere in the world. There will be the same readings from the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Gospel that strictly follow the liturgical year. The priest will give a homily (sermon for the Protestants) based on the liturgical readings of the week.
Most New Age congregations will hear the pastor preach on whatever strikes his or her fancy at the moment. If more money is needed for a new building or a service program, the message will be tailored to meet the perceived need of the moment.
Many of these pastors are charismatic and great speakers who easily attract a following. If the pastor were to change congregations or religions, I get the impression that many in the congregation would follow the pastor and his message.
The Catholic Church traces its origins to the Apostles and has 2,000 years of history, liturgy and tradition to follow. The unfortunate rise and treatment of pedophile priests has done a grave disservice to the religious community and its followers, and in itself is enough to erode trust in organized religion.
It is not mere conversation to say, "If you cannot trust a Catholic priest, who can you trust?" The fact that there are religious pedophiles in every Christian denomination does not excuse any instance of this abhorrent behavior.
Banks and financial institutions have no real need to fall all over themselves in a fit of righteousness. Some of these lenders have raised lying, cheating and stealing to an art form under the guise of legality.
Clearly the law favors subterfuge in financial matters, and lenders use this cover as an excuse to line their pockets at the borrower's expense. Bankers think nothing of looking you straight in the eye and telling you what a good deal they are giving you, and encourage you to worship at their feet for the privilege of their services.
What is there to trust when borrowing money from banks and financial institutions? Not much. They advertise about giving customer service and customer care but offer little evidence of doing so when put to the test.

Continuity in Liturgical Renewal (Hardcover) $148.18 Description: This monograph defends the continuity of the liturgical reforms of Vatican 11 with the previous liturgical tradition by examining and comparing the prefaces for the Sundays of Lent in the Roman Missals of 1570 and 2002. That is examining whether or not the editio typica tertia of the Missale Romanum (MR 2002) shows any significant rupture from the Tradition as some writers claim. Dr Lionel maintains that the liturgical prayers show a continuous thread of connection not only between Vatican 11 and the reforms of the Council of Trent, but from the New Testament period to our own day.The study, which examines the question of continuity by comparing specific texts from the pre- and post-conciliar editions of the Roman Missal is the first of its kind in liturgical scholarship. The work offers a precise methodology for the future study on continuity by defining the three elements of continuity based on the teachings of the Catholic Church: substantial, biblical and traditional. Substantial continuity refers to the unity in the theological content of the prefaces from pre- and post-conciliar missals in spite of some variations. Biblical continuity indicates the correspondence between scripture readings of the day or the season and the words of the prefaces with their theological and liturgical significance. Traditional continuity points to the connection between the present texts and the mystagogical writings of the Fathers of the Church and prayers of ancient sacramentaries. Dr Lionel has for the first time attempted a serious scholarly investigation of the Trentine missal and that of 2002: an enormous work in terms of time,scholarly dedication and interpretative skills.?Highly recommended for publication? Rev.Dr.John Lodge President of the Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology Mundelein Seminary |
