Secularist ideologies are plunging new generations of people into “an abject state of ignorance” not seen for centuries, the Bishop of Shrewsbury has said.
Womanhood in particular is being increasingly coarsened, said Bishop Mark Davies, and there is a growing “dislocation in the life of home and family”.
He encouraged the Catholic Church to commit itself to the “springtime of the new evangelisation” with the same fidelity and fervour as the Victorian Catholics who sought to re-establish the faith in the British Isles in the so-called Second Spring.
