Eric Sammons is a former diocesan director of Catholic evangelization and now the editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine. In his latest book, Deadly Indifference: How the Church Lost Her Mission, and How We Can Reclaim It (Sophia Institute Press), Sammons pulls the curtain back on the rise of religious indifference, uncovering a wealth of fascinating particulars about what made the “old” Church work, and what is causing the “new” to collapse. He identifies the most damaging distortions of the Faith, presented as progress, and explains why Church leaders felt compelled to upend traditional Catholic life.
In captivating detail, Sammons explores why the New Evangelization was destined to fail and explains how the decision to de-emphasize the Church’s exclusive role in the process of salvation inevitably led to mass abandonment of the sacraments. He identifies how certain teachings were ignored or toned down—leading to their sudden collapse—and how progressives elevated ecumenism over evangelization and supplanted proclamation of the Gospel with “dialogue.”
Deadly Indifference is both a vital examination of the current crisis facing the Church and a blueprint for how to overcome it, says Sophia Institute Press.
