After teaching in Catholic Schools for over 30 years, if I were to sum up her approach
to the world prior to the Pontificate of Pope St. John Paul the Great, I would
argue that she appears to have been trying to restore her lost public role by

the Second Vatican Council liberal modernity has its own religion. The outcome
of the effort has therefore been a tendency to make Catholicism sound very much
like worship of the god of this world, and lead many Catholics to forget that
there is a difference between that worship and our own. This is a prime
thesis of my book, written as a first-hand account of the Church in the United
States following the Second Vatican Council.
