"The Cult of the Self" | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I saw a show about the middle ages a few weeks ago which made the interesting point that the people of the time considered themselves modern.  At the time, they were.  What is disturbing is when the Church deliberately tries to not be modern and closes its ears and eyes to new data in the sciences and humanities while still claiming to argue using natural law (which is the most contradictory of positions). Note that the screed condemning Modernism by Pius X contains many things that we now know are erroneous.  There are still those who claim that the myth of Adam and Eve rely do relate to the first human parents rather than being a way to explain human nature and sin in general.
