Faith Formation in a Secular Age Quotes

“In our own time this has become full blown; for us today, that which is authentic is more important than that which is holy, good, or righteous. What is lame and counterfeit, that which corrupts authenticity and keeps us from being real or genuine, making us a poser or a fraud, is worse than that which is evil, demonic, or perverse. It is better to be bad but authentic than to be good but phony.”
― Andrew Root, Faith Formation in a Secular Age, Volume 1: Responding to the Church's Obsession with Youthfulness
