Three elements of false religion: 'good,' human bad, satanic ugly

Why did God tolerate the spread of paganism and false religions for so long before the Incarnation? And what are we to make of 'good' elements in false religions? Father Henry James Coleridge explains

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the topic of false religions.

For decades, people have been emphasising what is “good” in these false religions, even referring to them as “elements of sanctification.”

Some even think that all religions are paths to arrive at God, that religious differences are positively willed by God, and that they all have divine inspiration present amongst them.

This section of Fr Henry James Coleridge’s Preparation of the Incarnation deals with this very topic.

The Father Coleridge Reader is a new project partnered with The WM Review. We’re still getting to grips with audio and the best way to go about making Coleridge’s rich reflections available in this format.
