desperate for meaning and relevance in their religion…

“The reason people do these things (as well as turning to Eastern forms of meditation, New Age Spirituality, liturgical dance, etc.) is because they are desperate for meaning and relevance in their religion, and no one has taken the time and trouble to explain the meaning and relevance of the traditions and customs and devotions and sacramentals they already have. So they have to invent new ‘creative, fresh and innovative’ ways to be relevant.” -Fr. Longenecker, source.
