The increasing process of secularisation leaves many people without any definite direction in life. They start looking for political and religious leadership and inspiration. It is not always there. The Combined Code and the setting up of the Nolan Commission are signs that something needs to be done. Concern and solicitude should be extended to these crowds of people. It is a problem that should be seen as an opportunity. There is a lot of work to do but it is the kind of work that is both psychically and physically demanding.
The idols of silver and gold were made by workmen, they cannot be God. The rival ideologies, philosophies and theologies conflict with each other. The plurality of doctrines leads to confusion and error for those with no knowledge. We should perhaps not be against them as such, even though they may be dangerous, but against the uses to which they are put. Erroneous doctrines can't really help. People begin to see something special in successful people. They are often controversial people, charismatic, occasionally acquisitive and competitive. There is no sure way of knowing them. Unless they come with good references.
