Together with matrimony, the sacrament of holy orders is included in the Catechism of the Catholic Church under the heading “The Sacraments at the Service of Communion.”
With the alarmingly high amount of partisan political censorship on social media of late, it has dawned on me that if I said on Facebook or any other social media site, “As a Roman Catholic, these are a few of the foundational tenets of my faith…” and then named a handful of basic Catholic teachings, at some point I would be censored or outright kicked off the site. It would be the result of an embedded secularism that is utterly antagonistic toward a religious worldview.
